iTunes for Windows will only do a local sync of contacts to Outlook as you have found. The best option for Thunderbird is to setup Thunderbird to use a CardDav type account via iCloud or Google Gmail which also supports CardDav. Then also have your mobile device - presumably an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch also link to iCloud.


See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026598 and the Sogo Connector for Thunderbird (you might need Thunderbird Lightning as well) see http://www.sogo.nu/downloads/frontends.html


Other than the above, using something other than iTunes to sync your contacts is the best approach, as an example see BirdieSync http://www.birdiesync.com/ or http://www.copytrans.net/copytranscontacts.php
