I am sure an update will be pushed quickly. I'm waiting too, as a testing user.
You can fix this temporarily via setting "xpinstall.signatures.required" to false. Toggle it back to true once update is released and you install it.
Meanwhile I'm hijacking this comment that is to the upper parts of the tree to state this: the way the community treats Mozilla and Firefox is horribly, inexplicably, unacceptably unfair.
This is nothing compared to innumerable other fuckups in software history, and even recent ones like goto fail, heartbleed, or Chrome logging you into Sync w/o notice.
This is a mistake, an easily recoverable one, and is not intentional or malicious. Firefox is developed in the out and open, all the processes are public. And people, with an absurd entitlement and malice, go as far as to call things backdoors or malware. Meanwhile the alternative actually is a backdoor ridden malware.

While I agree with most of your comment, you're downplaying the severity here, especially since, IIUC, this situation also affected the Tor browser, disabling NoScript. If regimes like China were on the ball, and succeeded in escalating the remote code execution vulnerability into into deanonimization, this debacle may end up having a death toll attached to it.

Please don't be this ungrateful.
