Steps to reproduce:

1) Open B2G Browser
2) Go to http://cd.pn/b3
3) Press Play button

Expected result:

4) Video plays (this is a WebM video)

Actual result:

4) Video shows error "Video format or MIME type is not supported"

This happens with WebM and Ogg
This is caused by the Media Cache directory attempting to be created and failing. The relevant code is in content/media/nsMediaStream.cpp, in Init(). It's attempting to create a TmpD/mozilla-media-cache.

Chris with the latest daily build we are crashing on Browser playback for WebM Content. 

Things work well inside the video app.
Chris Double, you seem like the correct owner here but if I'm wrong feel free to re-assign.  Thanks.
