You can use web-ext to achieve this. This works in FF55+

First of all make sure you have NodeJS installed (you could also use Homebrew and brew install node on OSX).

With NodeJS in place you need to install web-ext via npm by typing in your terminal/cmd :

npm install --global web-ext

Then change directory to the one where your extension lives and run:

web-ext run

This will start the Firefox with your extension loaded and hot reloading enabled.

I hope this helps.
