For language packs you need set

extensions.langpacks.signatures.required

to false.

Important: set yourself a calendar reminder, oh, a week from now to turn both options back on. I'm just guessing that this dumpster fire will get sorted out before then, and you want to reenable it.

I'll bet there's going to be a huge crowd that forgets to turn this off. So, this episode will result in a some portion of Firefox's install base not checking signatures. A very attractive attack vector for drive-by malware infestation.
