Thank you all for the help, we have now managed to enable our add-on silently.

Our developers have a follow-up question though:

Is the setting “general.config.obscure_value” still a thing in FF 57? The 
linked document pages specify it in the examples, but the only reference we can 
find to the actual setting is in the archived section: 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Archive/Mozilla/Automatic_Mozilla_Configurator/Locked_config_settings

Even setting it explicitly to 1 in autoconfig.js seems to have no effect on the 
file specified with “general.config.filename”.

If it is a thing, where do we find the documentation on how it actually works 
and how to decode/encode the file so that we can modify it?
