This seems to be a perfect use case for a "developer edition" build of
firefox, which indeed doesn't exist as an Ubuntu package, but for which
Mozilla does provide binaries
(https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/developer/).
Patching the default behaviour in release builds wouldn't benefit the
vast majority of Ubuntu/Firefox users. I am of the opinion that it's
reasonable to expect advanced users that need this feature to install a
developer build straight from Mozilla, or build it from source
themselves.

Title:
Enable WebExtensions Experiments in the packages
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
WebExtensions Experiments allow developers to access functionality
that Mozilla reserves for itself since XPCOM extensions killing. They
allow develepers to implement an own WebExtensions API. It is not
available in usual firefox versions and have to be enabled hoth during
build (MOZ_DEV_EDITION) and in about:config
(extensions.experiments.enabled). It is proposed to enable the needed
macrodef, and maybe even an about:config pref.
