Attached image remotesettings-pi bug
[Affected versions]: 
 - Fx 63.0b5

[Affected platforms]:
 - Windows 10 x 64
 - Mac OS X 10.13
 - Ubuntu 16.04


[Steps to reproduce]:
1. Go to https://github.com/leplatrem/remotesettings-pi/releases and download the latest version.
2. Go to about:debugging and click 'Load Temporary Add-on'.
3. Go to the unzipped folder and load the chrome.manifest file.


Expected Result:
The addon is loaded as a temporary extension.


Actual Results:
The user receives an error informing him the addon is not compatible with the firefox version.
As you can see here, there is no max version defined for the addon:
https://github.com/leplatrem/remotesettings-pi/blob/5dc028f88a179564bea614cb6eb4782cdae3053e/install.rdf#L23

But the addon is legacy, and was never meant to be used beyond Nightly, that's why it's not supported on Beta.
Cristian,

I published a new version of the addon (v1.0): 
https://github.com/leplatrem/remotesettings-pi/releases/tag/v1.0.0

However since it's not signed (yet), it can only be tested in the following products:
- Nightly
- Dev Edition
- Unbranded builds (includes Beta): https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#Unbranded_Builds

It should be enough to unblock you, and I will go through the process of getting it signed in the mean time.

Let me know how it goes ;)
Cristian, I could get the addon signed, you'll find the XPI on the release page:
https://github.com/leplatrem/remotesettings-pi/releases/tag/v1.0.0
Tested using the latest beta (Fx 63.0b7) on win 10 x64, macOS 10.13 and Ubuntu 16.04 x64. The issue is verified fixed; the addon is loaded without any issues.
