Very much agree! For the very reason, I abandoned Firefox after 20 years of loyal support, and finally embrassed Chrome just this week. I do need my personal extensions. I do not want to submit my personal extensions for signature. I do not even need to pack them. In chrome I can install unpacked extensions in develop mode and keep using them that way, while Firefox discards loaded unpacked extension after each session. I'm not sure if this feature will be changed in the future in chrome. So, the fact that I can not use my personal extension in FF is still kinda pain in my ass. As long as there is a workaround, like patching omni.jar, this "stricter meassure" makes no difference from before, thus I would say "pointless". Anyway, I'm starting to appreciate Mozilla turning me into a "majority" chrome user. Good luck to Firefox!
