Details

nsIPrefBranch2 allows you to register pref observers for all prefs that begin with a certain string, e.g. an observer registered for "foo.bar." will be triggered for "foo.bar.baz" and "foo.bar.bay" etc. Preference.js doesn't allow this currently (it explicitly checks in its pref observer that the pref names match). We needed this in Sync (see bug 578671), this is a follow-up to make sure it gets backported.
