Hello everyone. I have been working on an addon and I am self hosting it on github. Firefox blocks the xpi file if you attempt to download it even though the addon has been approved for a week now seems like it is still not signed. Am I doing anything wrong? I followed the guide and I have provided the manifest with the updates.json file location. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

You need to download the signed XPI file from your developer hub page:

The link to download should be also in the “Addon was Approved” email you’ve received.

I did not know firefox generated the new xpi for you. Thanks a lot.
