This warning happens because the pref is missing, as you point out, and
the pref is missing because there is nowhere to point it to. Considering
the fallback of having no such pref is that the hyperlink doesn't get
added in about:, but doesn't prevent the rest of the script from
running, this was left this way on purpose.
