You should not start gpg-agent in .bashrc. This will start an agent
for every bash started and will most likely not lead to the desired
result.

Furthermore, I doubt that GPG_AGENT_INFO will be available to
Thunderbird if Thunderbird is started without a shell.

You should definitely try to get gpg-agent started from .xsession or
.xinitrc (depends on your machine setup)
