As explained in [1], there is an assistant to help you migrating your
keys and settings from GnuPG/Enigmail to TB 78. I wrote that piece of
software and labelled it Enigmail 2.2, such that existing users of
Enigmail can smoothly migrate to TB 78 without needing to install
something manually.

Not surprisingly, every piece of software needs some maintenance from
time to time -- that's why you got an update. As long as you don't
uninstall Enigmail, you can expect to receive updates to it from time to
time.
