Sync address book with Google contacts

I am set up to sync Thunderbird address book to Google Contacts. However, as near as I can tell, this only syncs one way from Google to TB but not the other direction so if I add a new email address to TB address book it doesn't upload to Google.

Is this correct or do I have a bad setting? If the latter, I can't find it.

That was the issue but it gives rise to another question. when I click on the email address of a new contact to add it to the address book, it always goes to the unsynced book so it doesn't get synced with Google.

I have the Google synced book stet as default on start up already.

is there any way to save the new contacts To the Google Synced address book?

Does your Thunderbird show two addressbooks, or one? That is, I have my TB sync'd to Google contacts, and that appears as a separate addressbook to the TB addressbook.

Not to my knowledge, although there is an addon called 'addressbooks synchronizer', so you might look at that.

When you click a contact in the Header Pane, Add to Address Book, it's added to Personal Address Book by default. Click the contact again and you will see Edit Contact where the target address book can be selected.
