There are 2 places where extensions live.

~/.thunderbird/something.default/extensions
and
/usr/lib/mozilla/extensions

Those that live in /usr/lib/mozilla/extensions have been installed "globally" and
therefore will not present a "remove" option.

In the case of "Estonian ID Card" you have probably installed the mozilla-esteid
package when you went ahead and installed **everything**.  So, you see what headaches
you've made for yourself?  You've installed **everything** and now you are seeing
things you want to get rid of and you've no idea what they are and how to get rid of
them.

FWIW, the only extension that gets installed in the $user area on first run is
"Thunderbird Test Pilot".  You are given the option to remove since this is in the
user's directory.

Now, you've indicated you know how you installed the other 2?
