Why do you keep disabling the addons I use daily?
Please stop disabling addons that can't be verified. If I added it I want it. I've now stopped using your browser beacause I can't use the addons I require for my workflow.
Warn me all you want, but allow me to make the choice to take the risk for myself.

There is an override that you can enable.
Override add-on signing (advanced users): You can override this setting by changing the xpinstall.signatures.required preference to false in the Firefox Configuration Editor (about:config typed in the URL bar). Support is not available for any changes made with the Configuration Editor so please do this at your own risk.
Note: That pref will be gone in Firefox 44 (Release slated for Jan 26. 2016), but that might be extended, again, from something I have seen posted in the last few days.

Thank you for the information. I just don't see the point in creating all this frustration for users.
IMO that pref should be extended until the ability to override this on a per-extension basis has been integrated.
