Details

nsIPref's "EnumerateChildren" method is described as "[noscript]" in 
nsIPref.idl. I'd like it if I could access this method (or a version of it) from 
JavaScript so I can read all user defined security zones and present them in a 
UI. Currently there is no other method that I am aware of to do this.
I've had this on my to-do list, but it's better to have a bug for it.

The scriptable method GetChildList has been added to nsIPrefBranch as part of the 
work being done as part of bug 46863. For that reason, I am marking this as a 
duplicate of 46863. If you feel this is in error, feel free to change it back.

This was done as part of the preferences API refactoring. The JavaScript ready
