Bug Description

error in createShortcut: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_
This new user was created from zero with the adduser command and i haven't modified any configuration (the first app that I had lauched after the login was firefox).
I have disabled all extensions but the problem persist.

Ok, I think that I have got the cause:
1.- Login as userA
2.- Open firefox. A directory named /tmp/webfav is created. It is owned by userA
3.- Open another session as userB
4.- Firefox can not write on /tmp/webfav so it launch the exception
If you delete /tmp/webfav (rm -rf /tmp/webfav), userB can add favourites without problem.
A possible solution can be to create directory in temp with the user name in the name (something like /tmp/webfav-userA)
