Not directly an answer to your question, but maybe I can help you get enigmail run again.

AFAIK, the API did not change anymore since alpha1 for TB. So most probably, the enigmail.xpi is just to restrictive.

You can unpack it and modify the values in the xml file for it to work in beta1 too. Most plugins I ever used could just be adopted to the latest version of TB by such a small trick.
