I don't think `||` part does anything here, the left side always produces a string that at least has quotes so it won't be falsey.

In the unlikely event that we might want to escape double quotes or other escape characters in the humanReadableDescription you could use String#inspect:
http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.1.1/String.html#method-i-inspect

    @humanReadableName = (opts["humanReadableName"] || "").inspect
    @humanReadableDescription = (opts["humanReadableDescription"] || "").inspect

That said, this might be cryptic, even for Rubyists. Perhaps just a simple:

    @humanReadableName = '"' + (opts["humanReadableName"] || "") + "'"
    @humanReadableDescription = '"' + (opts["humanReadableDescription"] || "") + '"'

> Source/WebKit/Scripts/GeneratePreferences.rb:119
> +    @boolPreferncesNotDebug = @preferences.select { |p| !p.category && !p.webkitOnly && p.type == "bool" }
> +    @doublePreferncesNotDebug = @preferences.select { |p| !p.category && !p.webkitOnly && p.type == "double" }

Typo (all members): "Prefernces" => "Preferences"
