I don't know how this should work, but we have a request to be able to produce Developer Edition without requiring a rebuild. That would imply that being able to install unsigned extensions is also something that needs to be able to be configured without requiring a rebuild.
We have the xpinstall.signatures.required preference which is ignored in release/beta builds (where MOZ_REQUIRE_SIGNING is 1). Clearly we don't want a runtime toggle for this so I suppose some sort of repackaging is required.

I don't think Addons Manager is the right component for this but I'm not sure what's more appropriate.
In any case, you'll basically need to be able to re-generate AppConstants.jsm which is run through the C preprocessor:
https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/modules/AppConstants.jsm
Much hackier would be to just edit the generated version of that file from a beta build to change the value of AppConstants.MOZ_REQUIRE_SIGNING but that sounds awfully fragile.

The meta keyword is there, the bug doesn't depend on other bugs and there is no activity for 12 months.
:jimm, maybe it's time to close this bug?
