Problem with local installation of signed XPI

Hello, I have created an extension and signed it with this command (on a Mac):

$ jpm sign --api-key [apikey] --api-secret [apisecret]

It is unlisted on AMO, but the XPI itself is available here:

https://github.com/jfix/adestra-extensions/releases/download/v3.0.1/oecddirect-3.0.1-fx.xpi

Within our organisation we would like to install this extension on users' computers (all Windows 7). We've been looking at the official documentation here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Mozilla/Adding_extensions_using_the_Windows_registry https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Installing_extensions https://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/09/integrating-add-ons-into-firefox/

However, whatever we tried, the extension is disabled (see attached screenshot). We tried to change the `xpinstall.signatures.required` to `false` which enabled it but still said something about the extension not being verified.

The Firefox version used is 45. Windows 7.

Try to ask advice at the Add-ons forum website.

I'm pretty sure Firefox wants the extension to be signed by the Mozilla Add-ons team's private key.

Locally installed extensions probably only work properly if they had a full review and have SIGNEDSTATE_SIGNED (2). You can find the state in the extensions.json file. 

SIGNEDSTATE_MISSING: 0 - Add-on is unsigned
SIGNEDSTATE_PRELIMINARY: 1 - Add-on is preliminarily reviewed
SIGNEDSTATE_SIGNED: 2 - Add-on is fully reviewed
SIGNEDSTATE_SYSTEM: 3 - Add-on is system add-on

Thanks @jscher2000 and @cor-el for your replies. I take it, looking at them, that the signing process I used (jpm sign --api-key [...] --api-secret [...]) is not sufficient. Looking at the extensions's listing, it is only "preliminarily reviewed". I didn't know I needed more.

Now, obviously, my next question: How can I get a "full review" in order to move up to signedstate 2?

Thank again so far!
