#3Tangent: I just discovered that the Wayback Machine browser extension actually has had an official release, most recenly five months ago, and no longer has to be installed in this way. (There was a rather large gap between Apr 18, 2018 and Feb 18, 2022 when the only way to have a working Wayback Machine browser extension was to install it directly from the source code.)

Most extensions that exist are on Mozilla's Addons site. And unsigned extensions aren't commonly distributed because you just can't install them on normal Firefox, only Nightly or Developer Edition builds.
The main use-case of this is so that Mozilla doesn't have total control over what extensions are allowed to be installed.
It can also be used so you can install extensions you built-from-source.

#6Anything like that for Firefox Android and the extensions that Mozilla didn't whitelist? I followed their procedure for Nightly with a custom add-on collection but it didn't work.

It should work on any Linux as long as omni.ja is located at /usr/lib/firefox.

Because Android is more locked down than desktop Linux, there unfortunately isn't an easy way to modify Firefox in-place.
If it helps, the biggest issue I had with setting up custom extensions on Firefox Nightly Android using spaces in the collection name.
