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 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox
