Details

I noticed an innerHTML assignment in a submitted extension that wasn't flagged by the validator. I could reduce it to the following code:

  var x = '';
  x += foo;
  a.innerHTML = x;

Note that x starts off as a literal value and the validator recognizes this. However, the validator doesn't recognize that += modifies the value, so it keeps treating x as a literal.

This is not the same issue as bug 1209190 but might be a duplicate of 1197206, impossible to tell without real info over there.
