Description
### Describe the bug
Following the instructions on https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/blob/develop/docs/add-to-firefox.md results in a non functional metamask. The extension is not added to the browser at all
### Steps to reproduce
1. Checkout the source code from https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/tree/v10.11.1
2. Edit ```.metamaskrc.dist``` , put in with my Infura ID
3. yarn setup
4. yarn start
5. Followed https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/blob/develop/docs/add-to-firefox.md
Result: blank page. The extension icon is not even added to the toolbar, I need to manually go to moz-extension:///home.html
6. It doesn't show anything

Research direction
Start with docs/add-to-firefox.md and reproduce the reported steps using the v10.11.1 source on Firefox and macOS. Verify whether the documented build and loading steps still work; done means the documentation clearly produces a visible, functional extension rather than a blank page or requiring a manual moz-extension URL.
