You have to use Firefox Developer Edition and change 'xpinstall.signatures.required' to True in about:config

What about the part where I wrote

> Yes, I want Firefox stable. I don't want to run a buggy browser.

Developer Edition is essentially Beta with a few changes (which means additional telemetry by default so probably not up your alley):

fwiw even Nightly is quite stable these days, I can't remember when it last kept me from getting work done. And the addt'l telemetry is just a pref away.
