   * lifetime - it's safe to call this multiple times without worrying about
   * doing unnecessary work, as the preferences branch will only be processed
   * the first time.
   *
   * @param aPrefBranch  Preferences branch to import from. The preferences
   *                     under this branch can specify whitelist (ALLOW_ACTION)
   *                     or blacklist (DENY_ACTION) additions using perference
   *                     names of the form:

   *                     Where <ID> can be any valid preference name.
   *                     The value is expected to be a comma separated list of
   *                     host named. eg:
