Since some time ago Enigmail plugin for Thunderbird requires a working installation of GPG tools, including a graphical pinentry to be able to ask for the key passphrase.
It seems not to be available by default. To solve it, install a graphical pinentry:
brew install pinentry-mac
echo "use-standard-socket
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-mac" >> ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
killall gpg-agent
And you’re good to go.
