This was found through a coverity scan of the firefox source. Please refer to the sample URL. |nsTypedSelection::GetRootScrollableView| in layout/generic/nsSelection.cpp can return an uninitialized value. The variable |rv| is declared at line 6168 without an initializer. If the test at line 6171 fails, then execution branches to line 6195, which eventually returns the uninitialize |rv|. It looks like this was introduced by the patch for bug 330305. Formerly, the call to |GetScrollableView| at line 6170 initialize |rv|.
