Unfortunately, it was neither. However, I'm being told that Firefox Nightly allows you to install any add-ons, so maybe running it would be an option.

I actually used the debugging functionality to install a temporary add-on. This is a supported scenario, but it isn't exactly easy to set up.

Yes, I realized that. I probably misunderstood the user who reported this.
