Attached patch Fix (obsolete) — — Splinter Review 
I just had a case while hacking the search service code where gChromeReg.convertChromeURL(uri); (where I later discovered uri was null) caused the browser to crash at startup.

This wasn't nice at all and I had to make a debug build to figure out what was going on. The debug build printed:
[2323] ###!!! ASSERTION: null url!: 'aChromeURI', file /Users/florian/buildhg/fx-team/chrome/nsChromeRegistry.cpp, line 267

I think this function should throw (ie. return NS_ERROR_something) when given invalid parameters, not crash.

Fix

I think crashing is reasonable, but in any case NS_ENSURE_* is forbidden in new code. This should probably be:

if (NS_WARN_IF(!aChromeURI)) {
  return NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG;
}
