This is why Mozilla addon updates get reviewed before getting pushed out to users. It's not foolproof, but it's designed to at least have a chance of catching this sort of issue.

If you think a mozilla review is good enough, you are going to be disappointed.

Pretty easy to do code obfuscation that a human will miss and automated testing will have no idea how to handle.
