1637092 - Target WebRender captures into the home folder

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: WebRender, task, P3)

Description

[Dzmitry Malyshau [:kvark]]

It looks like the current folder on macOS (where the WR capture is saved by default) is sometimes pointing to /, which the user doesn't have access to.

In bug 1596769 we fixed Windows size of things to always write to AppData folder.

I think we should just switch all the platforms to point to a single place. Between AppData and the home folder, it seems to me that the home folder should be more convenient, since the users would typically want to access the result right away, and putting it far deep into the tree is not very convenient.
