Or get a running sandbox and play with it?

Probably it is, but I never looked into it. Take at look at searchfox.org, I think that in automated tests they do this a lot, running fake WebExtensions instances through JS.

What I do know is that you can get into a WebExtensions context and play with it. I do this in mouseGestures.uc.js (userChrome.jsm is used to save WebExtensions references).
