Variable ancestorFrame is not initialized at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/622dbd3409/layout/base/PresShell.cpp#4743. If else branch of the following if is taken, and while loop is never entered because ancestor is NULL, it remains uninitialized and then is accessed at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/622dbd3409/layout/base/PresShell.cpp#4771.

This code was introduced in bug 1265104.

Thanks, this code is used when painting the contents of a selection as a drag image. It should be the case that GetClosestCommonInclusiveAncestor returns a non-null node that IsContent() (which the non-fatal assertion is checking), but let's initialize this to be safe.
