If you did not disable automatic upgrades, you will be upgraded to TB 78.2, which means that you will not have Enigmail anymore. GnuPG will only be supported for handling secret keys (for example for smartcard support), but not for anything else. You can disable automatic updates in the Thunderbird settings under Advanced > Update. -Patrick
