This is what things will look like when Firefox 57 hits release and for each release past that (as far as we can see, things may change).
How things look with Firefox 57.0, and will look with subsequent releases (as far as we can see, things may change).
 
* Nightly builds: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/all/
* Beta builds: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/beta/all/
* Developer Edition builds: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/developer/
* Release builds: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/
* Unbranded builds: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#Latest_Builds
 
Note: legacy add-ons didn't work with unbranded builds of Firefox 57 but this was fixed for Fx 58 by {{Bugzilla|1414450}}.

== Testing signed extensions ==
If you've got a signed extension, unzip it and cd into the META-INF directory inside the extension.
Testing an extension:
  wget https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/downloads/file/743932/sort_tabs_by_url-0.10-an+fx.xpi
  unzip sort_tabs_by_url-0.10-an+fx.xpi 
  cd META-INF
  openssl pkcs7 -inform DER -text -print_certs < mozilla.rsa | grep "Issuer" -m 1
The output will look like the following.
An AMO signed extension:
  Issuer: C=US, O=Mozilla Corporation, OU=Mozilla AMO Production Signing Service, CN=production-signing-ca.addons.mozilla.org/emailAddress=services-ops+addonsigning@mozilla.com```
