How to find out if a Firefox add-on is signed

How do you know whether a Firefox add-on is signed or not? And what does it mean if it is signed?

One could say that you find out as soon as you try to install the add-on in a recent version of Firefox and that is certainly true, but it may sometimes be useful to know in advance.

For instance, how many of the add-ons that you have installed will be blocked by Firefox when add-on signing is enforced? Or, can you distribute the add-on that you found on a third-party site, or will Firefox refuse to install it on systems you want it deployed on?

W10Privacy update brings even more privacy options to Windows 10

W10Privacy is without doubt one of the most comprehensive privacy-focused tweaking tools for Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system. Recent updates introduced new tweaks and support for changes introduced in the November 2015 update of Windows 10.

Design and layout of W10Privacy has not changed. The program creates a system restore point on start, and displays tweaks in tabs named privacy, telemetry or OneDrive that reveal their focus.
