I would like to test my unreleased addon for a longer time in Firefox for Android. But I only know how to load it as a temporary addon.
How can I load it permanently on the device to test it?
I think you will have to release it.
But you can mark it as Experimental - in the “Edit Product Page”:
I think experimental addons are excluded from the search results so nobody except you should be able to find it.
I assume you know about this bug to allow nightly builds to load unlisted add-ons again. That’d help your issue, right?

### What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?
It i… s impossible to install unlisted Web Extensions in Firefox Nightly.
Currently, in order to use a simple custom extension in Nightly, one has to:
1) Create a Firefox Account;
2) Create a collection;
3) Upload the extension to be listed at addons.mozilla.org (unlisted extensions CANNOT be installed);
4) Waste the time of the reviewer to look at the extension;
5) Pollute the add-on database with an extension that is of very little use to the general public.
Curiously, issue #11308, which raised roughly the same issue, was closed as a duplicate of #14034, which is now closed and did not address this specific problem.
