If you don't want to upgrade to the newest release, you could switch to 
an ESR version close to the release version you are now using. The ESR 
versions have the xpinstall.signatures.required preference that you can 
set to false to allow you to run unsigned extensions. There is no 
Firefox 82 ESR but you could install Firefox 78.9 ESR or Firefox 91.13.0 
ESR. If you're going to start with a new profile, you could use either 
one, but if you're going to bring part or all of your old profile over, 
I'd suggest using Firefox 91.13.0 ESR. That way you won't run into any 
backward compatibility issues.

I just did a test install of Firefox 91.13.0 ESR (in Windows) and I was 
able to install uBlock Origin, NoScript and a few other extensions after 
setting the above-referenced preference to false. They are all working 
as expected. You just get a cautionary note in the Add-ons Manager 
telling you that the extension could not be verified.

Note that I'm only suggesting this because you seem to want to keep your 
old versions despite the risks. Otherwise I'd recommend the latest 
Release versions.
