Does the synchronization work on a zip file loaded from Add-ons -> Tools for all add-ons -> Install add-on from file...? (karab.in)

I do a basic browser.local.sync sync test:

let monster = {
  name: "Kraken",
  tentacles: true,
  eyeCount: 10,
};

let kitten = {
  name: "Moggy",
  tentacles: false,
  eyeCount: 2,
};

browser.storage.sync.set({ kitten, monster });

and on the second profile:

await browser.storage.local.get("kitten");

but nothing happens, get("kitten") returns nothing.

QUESTIONS:

  1. Does the synchronization work on a zip file loaded from Add-ons -> Tools for all add-ons -> Install add-on from file...?
    I have in manifest.json applications.gecko.id, as needed.
  2. If not, what do I need to do to TEST the synchronization work?

I assume the zip-file wasn't signed by mozilla? And the question is basically if unsigned extensions can use the Storage API. Interesting question ... i actually never tried that, i just assumed since the Storage isn't encrypted and account bound, that unsigned extensions should be able to use it. about:sync-log might be of interest here.
