It's possible (likely) that there's no way to trigger this in current builds, but this is bad enough that I didn't want to file a public bug.

Patch in a moment.
Summary: TabChild may use uninitialized mFrameElement pointer → TabParent may use uninitialized mFrameElement pointer

What is this code used for? Would it affect regular firefox builds (e.g. ESR) or can we skip it for those. Would Fennec Native need it?

This bug doesn't affect builds which don't spin up OOP frames.  So regular Firefox, ESR, and Fennec Native are unaffected.
