Until a few versions ago Firefox accepted extensions without requiring them to be signed, so there's not more vulnerability than before. Mozilla is trying to improve this situation by requiring extensions to be signed now. The long-term solution will be Firebug 3, though I don't know when that version will be released. I assume it will be together with Firefox 48 in August.
