       If you use #GnuPG #GPG, and you would like to ensure interoperability with Thunderbird, you might consider to disable the use of #LibrePGP features, by using option --rfc4880 in your configuration (e.g. by adding a line with the word "rfc4880" to your gpg.conf file.)At this time it is undecided whether future Thunderbird versions will support LibrePGP or the upcoming refresh of the #IETF #OpenPGP specification, or both, or none of them. Hopefully we'll eventually see a new universal standard.

       The option to enable LibrePGP is --rfc4880bis which is used by GnuPG version 2.4 by default, and which can create messages and keys that Thunderbird might not be able to process. Note that several Linux distributions have reverted this default, and also stay with the --rfc4880 (not *bis) default, out of a similar worry of not being able to interoperate with future OpenPGP implementations that might follow the upcoming IETF specification.
