When will Adguard Adblocker be available for the latest Firefox version(43?)

Firefox Installation and updates

Every Firefox update I have ever installed has rendered all of my favorite addons and extensions useless. 43 apparently requires every extension be signed by Mozilla. Adguard adblocker (best one I've found) will be in this unsigned category this time but this happens on every update and it's infuriating. The ability to control ads and pop-ups is what drew me to Firefox in the first place. I actually damaged a tablet punching the screen trying to fight my way through a stack of pop-ups and re-directs every time I wanted to look at a different site. I could take the ads if they were displayed on a side or bottom bar. What the advertisers don't understand is this, I WILL NEVER SPEND A SINGLE CENT ON ANY CRAP PLACED IN BETWEEN ME AND WHAT I AM TRYING TO VIEW!!! NEVER!!! Even if I want it, I will never buy it. NEVER! I don't think I'm the the only person that feels like this. Mozilla, how about not releasing updates until they support all the reasons we were drawn to Firefox years ago. I would love having the latest security updates but I refuse to put up with crap. Stand up and take the lead. Don't listen to Google or any company that thinks they can hard sell us. If you do, you'll just lose us. No pop-ups, no re-directs, please. Thank you.

I hope that extension is signed. It appeared on the scene after "signing" first came into play on the Add-ons.Mozilla.Org website - Released November 3, 2015 - Version 2.0.20

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox#w_what-can-i-do-if-firefox-disables-an-installed-unsigned-add-on

You can override the 'signing' requirement by changing the xpinstall.signatures.required preference to false in the Firefox Configuration Editor (about:config typed in the URL bar).

That should work thru Firefox 45.0.

I don't see any indication of a problem in the reviews: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adguard-adblocker/reviews/

Are you running an old version?
