Same issue here. Also fails to install when directly install from file (downloaded from the github releases). Apparently the issue is the signing cert from Mozilla which is expired (see the reddit thread for cause and workaround: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/bkhtv8/heres_whats_going_on_with_your_addons_being/)

Starting in Firefox version 57, only extensions built using WebExtensions APIs will work. Not sure if your add-ons are affected? See Firefox add-on technology is modernizing and these Frequently Asked Questions for details. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/add-on-signing-in-firefox?as=u&utm_source=inproduct

This is due to an expired certificate in Firefox itself. Please follow https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1548973 to track progress.
