  2. signed add-ons are blocked (with a preference to allow unsigned: xpinstall.signatures.required) are in ff46 for android

    Please note that unsigned add-ons will be blocked 100% in a future (my guess is FF47 or F48 for Android) release of Firefox for Android (just like desktop).

    I've update row 58 of the spreadsheet for FFAndroid to reflect this.
