Is a signed add-on *permanently* allowed?

The new rules allowing only signed add-ons make me nervous, since an add-on I depended upon so heavily, and had spent a great amount of time configuring -- Menu Editor -- suddenly became unusable when I updated to Firefox 43, as Menu Editor is unsigned. There was no warning before the update that signing would suddenly switch from "recommended" to strictly enforced as of that update. I have since learned of the about:config workaround to re-enable it (which at least allows me to restore the Menu Editor functionality while I seek and configure a signed alternative), but I understand that this workaround will be unavailable in versions 44+. And that once an add-on is disabled due to being unsigned, reverting to an older version of Firefox (or doing a Windows System Restore) will *not* re-enable it.

My concern going forward, and my question, is whether or not -- even if I am using only signed add-ons, -- my ability to use one or more of them will go away if its signing/signature expires, or is not renewed. Or is a given add-on *permanently* permitted after the original signing (for as long as it remains compatible with future Firefox versions, anyway)?

It looks like Menu Editor has been pulled from the Addons website. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/

I have been using Menu Wizard for awhile. I find to be a suitable replacement for Menu Editor. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/s3menu-wizard/

There's no expiration date on signing. Once an add-on that is hosted at AMO, all updates in the future will be signed automatically. 3rd party hosted extensions might be a different story, though.

Thanks for the update! Can't say I understand how these decisions are made, but I'm surprised Mozilla would specify that removal of the signing enforcement workaround would be delayed to 47+ but then move that up to 46. Regardless I'm glad I now have further incentive not to procrastinate preparing for the switch.

Firefox 47 was just a proposal by the Add-on Team for pushing back that pref, and wasn't decided until Jan 22nd as being Firefox 46 as announced in that blog.
