Firefox developer edition allows using unsigned webextensions by toggling xpinstall.signatures.required to false in about:config
2 comments

waterfox allows unsigned extensions.

It seems to me disabling the xpinstall.signatures.required setting has no effect anymore, at least the last time I tried using it, it had no effect.

Firefox developer edition is the former Aurora (development) channel. It is not the stable release channel.
You could use the unbranded builds. They build them specifically for your use case. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#Unbranded...
FWIW, developer edition is now the Beta channel.
It's not labeled as stable, that does not mean it is unstable.
