When I user ThunderBird, I usually like to add signature with words and a picture,but I found this is not support. It do dispointed me. So I think if it is possible to take an advice to deveopers. May be it will be supported in the future.
Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.
I must assume you have not seen the support document on creating signatures. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/signatures
