This is used by the GPU process to choose a directory in which to save webrender captures (for debugging): https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/46dae934738073c4f51c2b628503fe3bf84f89d2/gfx/webrender_bindings/src/bindings.rs#2255

Bug 1523639 made it so that this env var is only set in the parent process, presumably as calling context.getExternalFilesDir() is not allowed in isolated processes. However, the GPU process needs this variable, and is not an isolated process. We could fix this by changing the if (!childProcess) check to a if (!isolatedProcess), if such a thing is possible.
