>Firefox doesn't allow you to bypass its marketplace and load extensions that you build from source yourself

It's less than ideal but you can 1) load extensions temporarily in about:debugging, 2) turn off xpinstall.signatures.required in nightly or dev edition to install them for good or 3) sign on addons.mozilla.org without publishing to the marketplace.

Or 4) patch the checks out yourself. As they say, "Firefox is open-source for a reason."
It might actually be something I would do especially as I could probably vibe code and vibe build it.

Will see if I get time to do so.
