In previous versions all work. Now I try to open in firefox tab link like file:///storage/emulated/0/Download/myown.xpi but nothing happens. It was added to any restrictions on manual xpi installation?

Yes this is an intentional security fix. You will need to follow the link from an html page, I believe that should allow you to work around the issue. Something as simple as a file with the following 

   <a href="/path/to/saved/extension.xpi">click me to install</a>
