This bug was fixed in Debian 10 months ago, in Firefox 43, why Ubuntu
developers doesn't accept 2 lines patch, which is accepted in Debian
since December 2015?
iceweasel (43.0-1) experimental; urgency=medium
* New upstream release.
[...]
* toolkit/mozapps/extensions/internal/XPIProvider.jsm: Allow unsigned
addons in /usr/{lib,share}/mozilla/extensions. Closes: #800150.
There are lots of cases, when system administrators must install firefox
extension for all users, for example flashblock and adblock are widely
used in schools and other educational institutions, also this is a
regression, because Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04 LTS versions allowed to use
extensions from deb packages, see bug #1507494 - Extensions stopped
working (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)
** Package changed: iceweasel (Debian) => firefox (Debian)
