Emacs includes an Encryption/Decryption menu, see
Emacs menu -> Tools -> Encryption/Decryption
Try:
Save your file "pubring.kbx" to something unique.
For example
$ cp pubring.kbx gotts-keys.keys
Then import keys from your ".thunderbird" file:
Emacs menu -> Tools
-> Encryption/Decryption
-> Import Keys from File...
Then check your keys with:
Emacs menu -> Tools
-> Encryption/Decryption
-> List Keys
If this does not show the keys that you expect, then you
can restore your keys from your "gotts-keys.keys" file.
