This isn't really a regression from bug 1482988, the code came from bug 1475697...

Taking.

The simple fix here, of course, is to null check the channel argument.  But that means that everywhere that aChannel is null, we won't be notifying the UI, which is not all that great.

With a little bit of more work, we could use the document's channel in many existing call sites to pass down a channel object that this code could use when notifying the UI, therefore making it mostly work.  Parts 2 and 3 do that.  With those fixed, there will be only a few call sites that pass in a null channel object knowingly: callers of nsContentUtils::StorageAllowedForNewWindow() (1 caller) and callers of 	nsContentUtils::StorageAllowedForPrincipal() (2 callers).

I'm trying to think what does it mean when aDocument->GetChannel() returns null. (like with initial about:blank, IIRC)

Could you explain why this is ok with initial about:blank?

with that, r+

Part 3: Pass in a channel object when calling InternalStorageAllowedForPrincipal() from StorageAllowedForWindow() and StorageAllowedForDocument()

Also here, what if document doesn't have channel?

Still looks reasonable, but the edge case might or might not be ok. Please explain (or correct me that initial about:blank gets channel after all).

StorageDisabledByAntiTracking() first tries to use the innerwindow argument, and if that's null it falls back to the channel object to do its main work.  Besides that, the channel argument being passed in (when innerwindow is non-null) will only be used for reporting the security UI notifications, so when the channel argument is null, it is only the reporting part that won't get done.  In other words, the reporting is a best-effort attempt.

This change only makes the channel object available for reporting in the cases where it's non-null (e.g. in the case of the initial about:blank, the reporting won't happen.)  I'll clarify this in a comment.
