Then install Enigmail into your Thunderbird 68 profile, and execute the Enigmail setup wizard, which will help you to setup GnuPG software correctly. Thunderbird looks in the profiles.ini file to find what profiles you have and where they are. It won't ignore bad entries in that file. If you have only one profile that you care about and you can't recover it delete the profiles.ini file and then follow the instructions on how to move a profile by creating a new profile and copying the contents of the old one over it. Thunderbird will create a new good profiles.ini for you when it creates the new profile. Profiles.ini is stored in the Thunderbird directory above where your profiles are stored by default.

At this time Thunderbird doesn't offer that, because of the various issues that were detected with those keyservers in the recent past. If you need to obtain a key from a keyserver that isn't currently supported by Thunderbird 78, then you must use other software to obtain it, then save it to a file, then you can use OpenPGP Key Manager to import the public key file.

Previous versions of Thunderbird (version 68 and before) had built-in S/MIME support, and it was possible to add OpenPGP support using the Enigmail add-on and GnuPG software. The Enigmail add-on is no longer available for Thunderbird 78 except to assist its former users with migrating to the built-in OpenPGP support or getting guidance how to restore their Enigmail “Junior Mode” user experience. Thunderbird 78 does not provide the junior mode, the built-in OpenPGP feature that Thunderbird 78 provides is more similar to Enigmail's classic mode of operation.
