cfx run --static-args='{"local":true,"prefs":{"extensions.testpilot.deploymentRandomizer.search-distribution-census":"42.3","general.useragent.locale":"de"}}' --addon='test_pilot-1.2.3-fx.xpi'

Or

# just run another addon
cfx run --addon some/addon.xpi

# turn on some useful prefs and debugging
cfx run --addon some/addon.xpi --static-args '{"debugpages": true, "debugprefs": true, "local": true}'

# turn on some useful prefs and debugging
cfx run --addon some/addon.xpi --static-args '{"debugpages": true, "debugprefs": true}'

# add your own urls, loaded in 'tabs.open'
cfx run --addon some/addon.xpi --static-args '{"urls": ["http://url1", "http://url2"]}'
