Where a user has a network based home directory (very common these days), their
profile will be usually created in ~/Library/Firefox/... The Firefox cache files
do not belong here. They should be created in /Library/Caches/Firefox.

* Safari does this.
* It reduces network load.
* It reduces backup requirements (caches shouldn't be backed up and most
sysadmins backup users home directories)


Reproducible: Always
