      No description provided.
This is a regression from bug 926012.

We have the ability to mutate the prototype of an XrayWrapper for a given origin, without altering the prototype of the underlying object. The current code doesn't handle the valid case of setting the prototype to null, and crashes.

Simple 1-line fix. I'll attach a patch.

Handle null in XrayWrapper::setPrototypeOf. v1

This is an extremely low-risk fix, so I think we should take it for aurora and beta.

Approval Request Comment
[Feature/regressing bug #]: bug 926012
[User impact if declined]: Addons and frontend code can cause crashes by doing something very reasonable. Confusing for authors if they notice, bad for users if they don't.
[Describe test coverage new/current, TBPL]: xpcshell-test.
[Risks and why]: Extremely low risk.
[String/UUID change made/needed]: None.

I can back Bobby that this fix is trivial, and should be uplifted.
