Allow for user made Add-ons

[Ceelbc]

I want to create my own Add-on for personal use. In  Firefox   developer edition is it possible to create and use your own Add-on by disableing the flag: xpinstall.signatures.required.

However, this is not possible with the stable version of Firefox  . (except with: about:debugging, but that is not precistant.)

I suggest allowing users to disable xpinstall.signatures.required in the stable version of Firefox .

Optionally: to reduce abuse of this system; allow the user to specify a key in the browser that he has to match in the manifest file of the Add-on(s). However, because of the dificulty of finding the option to install Add-ons using a file in the developer edition; I think that this is totally over due.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

If it helps, I believe this is possible in ESR - which in a sense is the "more stable stable" version of FF.
