Was Firefox 47.0.1 the end of the line for you as well?
Curt:
For safety's sake I thought I would update my Firefox 47.0.1 to Firefox 48.0. So I did.
After 2x restart I was surprised to realize that a number of favourite addons clearly had stopped working, so I went to see what's wrong with my Nightly Tester Tool who's job it is to "Force Addon Compatibility". Turns out it has been overruled by Firefox, so no compatibility was forced on anything.
At Mozilla's page I was told a story about the "many" addons that are trying to steel my money, identity, etc. Of course such a story is difficult to believe, since I never have met such an addon. New homepage redirection, yes, but never anything dangerous. Maybe we just don't hear about them? But of course, I guess they're out there, just waiting for a chance to enter my PC, so it's better to be safe than sorry.
And because of this I should be thankful for Mozilla now blocking every unsigned addons, I assume...
I do, however, not agree with Mozilla on this. Do you? The unsigned addons that I have are not new in any way. They have been on my computer for many years!! On my PC there is nothing to fear (of course there is, but so far it all went well) - and I totally want to have my addons back. They were there for a reason; without them, Firefox is no longer the best. In fact, without addons Firefox is nothing but the fattest kid in the world.
So I removed 48 and reinstalled 47.
Do they know what they're doing?!
Have you abandoned Firefox? If not: Do you use a newer version than 47.0.1?

Use a browser which does not introduce changes every six weeks, and you'll have more time for non-virtual aspects of your life.
I'll deal with the unsigned add-on clusterjoy around the time of Firefox 53. Not sooner.

Shades:
Unsigned...is it not possible to sign extensions yourself? According to Mozilla, you can. This link explains which versions of Firefox allow for unsigned extensions, and behind this link you will find step by step instructions (not specifically for Windows, but the steps are clear).
Just make sure you create a sufficiently strong certificate (RSA 2048/SHA256 minimum), else it is likely Firefox will complain about the weak certificate. The EasyRSA scripts allow you quite some freedom when generating self-signed certificates. At least, I use it myself whenever I have a need for self-signed certificates.
tomos:
I'm with:
* Firefox ESR 38.8.0 (up-to-date)
* Pale Moon -- just updating to 26.4.0 (x64 portable)
