Instead of launching the .xpi installer, copy the .xpi file into a standard extension folder
- Global (x64)
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\extensions\{appID}.xpi - Global (x86)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\browser\extensions\{appID}.xpi - Per user
%AppData%\Mozilla\Extensions\{appID}\
where the {appID} must be the application ID of a signed Firefox add-on.

Installed the addon using this manual: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Alternative_distribution_options/Add-ons_in_the_enterprise

Doesn't really explain which method you used. The standard extension folder is one of the options there, too. At least explain how you solved this. – Esa Jokinen Dec 13 '17 at 19:36

1@EsaJokinen Standard extension folder method is on the other link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Alternative_distribution_options/Sideloading_add-ons I used the registry method from the above link, because I couldn't even download the xpi file (seems like they disabled downloading from other browsers). Also there's a note: >To install an add-on for all users of a Windows computer, see Installation using the Windows registry. – real_sm Dec 15 '17 at 10:23
