1170020 - Fix for complex pref dereferencing breaks custom string bundle URIs

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Settings and Preferences, defect)

Description

After this changes custom protocols urls stop working this `Services.strings.createBundle`. Like 'xb' in the YandexBar.
`Services.strings.createBundle('xb://...')` throws NS_ERROR_ABORT in the Firefox 39b.
We did workaround in the YandexBar now, but confused by speed of these changes.

Maybe good also to check protocol flags? Something like
`Services.io.getProtocolFlags(scheme) & Ci.nsIProtocolHandler.URI_IS_UI_RESOURCE;`
or
`Services.io.getProtocolFlags(scheme) & Ci.nsIProtocolHandler.URI_IS_LOCAL_FILE;`

Bug 1161222 plus a little more might be the best fix for this.
