According to some very old release notes <http://www-archive.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.7rc3/README.html> the xpinstall.whitelist.required and xpinstall.whitelist.add preferences are only for whitelisting websites for add-on download. Though, I think those preferences are not used anymore, because they don't change when I allow the installation of an add-on from a website and the next time I want to install an extension from that website I'm asked again if I want to allow that.
Also, I just read a blog post on the Mozilla website <https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2016/01/22/add-on-signing-update/> stating that the removal of the xpinstall.signatures.required preference was deferred to Firefox 46. There is also a timeline with some more information about extension signing <https://wiki.mozilla.org/Addons/Extension_Signing#Timeline>.
