Clarification about Enigmail migrator and pEp/junior mode.
Enigmail had offered multiple modes of operation. If you had started to use Enigmail in recent years, you might have been using Enigmail's Junior Mode, which was operated behind the scenes by pEp software. If you have frequently seen red squares, yellow triangles and green shields with Enigmail, then you were likely using that mode.
'''Thunderbird 78 does not support the Junior Mode.'''(However, the aforementioned Enigmail migration Add-on is said to offer you the option to install newer pEp Software for Thunderbird. Note that Mozilla and Thunderbird are not affiliated with pEp.)
Thunderbird's new OpenPGP implementation is more similar to Enigmail's classic mode of operation, which was configured in recent Enigmail releases with the setting "Force using S/MIME and Enigmail". If you have already been using Enigmail for many years, and you already had OpenPGP keys in Enigmail at the time the junior mode was offered for the first time, you have probably been using Enigmail's classic mode, and might have never seen Enigmail's alternative junior mode.
