>MOZ_REQUIRE_SIGNING is a security measure to prevent users from running
unsigned (and potentially damaging) extensions, while I understand your
use case it is not reasonable to suggest turning it off by default for
all Ubuntu users.

If I remember right, it was a consensus that the policy of enforcement
of Mozilla policy applies only to builds for Linux built by Mozilla
itself, and distros were free to not to enforce Mozilla policy. It may
make sense to rename the package back into iceweasel and not to be bound
by Mozilla harmful policy. The usage of the name "Firefox" is less
valuable than the ability to customize the browser as we wish. It is
absolutely humilating that there is a need to get Mozilla approval in
order to do on our computers what we want and need to do.
