try to install and what error did you get?

0. ensure that mandatory signing of addons is disabled by going to 
`about:config` and ensuring `xpinstall.signatures.required` is set to `false`
1. build a custom addon from source on GitHub
2. don't send it to Mozilla's service for signing
3. install it
4. The browser will force-disable the addon without a possibility to enable it. 
It will give you the following link

Title:
  xpinstall.signatures.required no longer works

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  `xpinstall.signatures.required` used to be working for allowing addons
  not signed by Mozilla to be installed into release builds of Firefox
  from Ubuntu packages (it doesn't work for release builds of Firefox
  for Windows because of Mozilla policy, but linux distros used to be
  applying patches and using the right defines at compile time to fix
  that), but it is no longer the case.

  I'd also be fine to know what has caused that.
