I'm getting the following error message when attempting to send a signed email (Write -> Security -> Digitally sign this message):

Unable to send the message, because there is a problem with your personal key. You have not confirmed that the key with ID 'xxx' is your personal key.

This occurred after migrating keys from Enigmail to Thunderbird.

Found the solution.

Tools -> OpenPGP KeyManager -> double click your key, or right click it and click Key Properties -> Yes, treat this key as a personal key.
