I can’t find unbranded builds for release & beta version of Firefox for Android.
Many users reported me that my add-on is broken on beta (android). Release for Fx 50 is planned to Nov 15. I really need to fix the bug until the release.
What can I do?

It should work with Fennec. Once you’ve adjusted the IP and port on the phone, you should be able to push the extension directly into your mobile browser from your PC with the --post command of jpm or web-ext.
It would be nice if you could report if this works.

Thank you, it seems that tapping the notification to install as a temporary unsigned add-on does the trick.
Unfortunately, it seems that there is still no way to debug an add-on under “browser restart” condition to test handling of a persistent data.
To do that, you will have to use NIghtly and set xpinstall.signatures.required to false (step 2.2 above).
Now nightly should not block your unsigned extension and the Auto-Installer should install it permanently.
And make sure to listen on and post to a different port!
