There are consumers of nsContentUtils::GetPrefBranch which don't null-check the result.  This is bad, as nsContentUtils::Init explicitly states that a null pref service is allowed.  484de288-23dc-4490-ad28-8eff22110217 is an example of a crash because of this.

Consumers requiring fixing:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/generic/nsImageFrame.cpp#1904
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/base/nsFocusManager.cpp#197
Whiteboard: [good first bug]
Should the nsFocusManager instance return NS_ERROR_FAILURE or just if(prefBranch) ?
I think a straight |if (prefBranch)| will be fine.
