I do use Firefox for Android Nightly. How would I install an unsigned addon there?

I don't think it's possible. ... but if it were, this would be very useful to get the Anti-Paywall addons back.

It's called Sideload XPI, iirc Firefox Nightly allows you to sideload XPI if you enable Experimental by tapping Firefox logo in About 7 times.

But it's easier with Ice Raven or Smart Cookie Web Preview:
