Is this the expected behavior? Each time I restart Firefox, my unlisted add on gets disabled and I have to reinstall it again.

If the add-on has been signed, that shouldn’t be the case. How are you installing it?

We are giving up on that extension and going to upload a new build to the AMO. Its giving us too many problems.

I tried installing it by having a link to the file with the proper mime type and drag and drop. Both methods would cause the add on to be disabled after restart.

It would stay enabled if you do Install from file only.

Ok we finally uploaded the new extension and hopefully soon we can put behind all the crossrider issues 😄

Thanks for the support FF team!
