Mailvelope

On Windows 10 it doesn't work at 1st, meaning, it doesn't recognize my GnuPG key (I installed gpg4win with "browser integration").

When I say "at 1st", it means that it recognizes the GnuPG key at 2nd try, if one of these conditions apply:

(All the browsers I tested with have mailvelope installed)

1) I open another browser after I close the 1st one, and Mailvelope finally shows my GnuPG keyring (no more "Let's Start" each time I click the extension icon)
2) Same as 1), but I keep the 1st browser open
3) Opening only one browser, but I disable and then enable the Mailvelope extension.

I tried this with Chrome, Firefox, and several forks of those two, and it's *always* the same.
Once it works, it works on all browsers, until I restart the PC, and then I have no GnuPG key at 1st try again, and have to either restart the browser, the extension, or open another browser, which is a pain.

Here's the debug console Mailvelope extension messages at 1st try (when it doesn't work) for each browser:

====== FOR CHROME:
Building keyring for id localhost#gnupg failed Error: A connection timeout was exceeded.
at gpgme_error (list-types.js:1:8)
at list-types.js:1:8

======FOR FIREFOX:
Building keyring for id localhost#gnupg failed Error: A connection timeout was exceeded.
GPGME_Error moz-extension://bcd7dafd-6a30-4a4c-8c6d-4246684e1e6f/background.bundle.js:56181
gpgme_error moz-extension://bcd7dafd-6a30-4a4c-8c6d-4246684e1e6f/background.bundle.js:56146
post moz-extension://bcd7dafd-6a30-4a4c-8c6d-4246684e1e6f/background.bundle.js:56621


So there's a timeout error of some sort.
Please correct this. For some reason in Mac and Linux, though it needs those mainfest files and gpgme, aka it should be more tricky, it works always and flawlessly, no restarts of anything. In windows it was supposed to be "install with browser integration" and that's it.

I will change my rating once you correct this. This seems pretty basic for the developers to correct.

Simplicime, installation rapide, import de ma clé gnupg existante, juste un manque une version pour iOS serait bien utile

Se integra muy bien con gmail sin necesidad de cosas complicadas. Super útil.

Obwohl die App das lokal installierte GPG eigentlich sehen müsste tut es das nicht.
