#6129: Inform users about permission issues through FAQ

When a users extract TBB to a privileged location like %ProgramFiles% then
Firefox will start up with the confusing message "Firefox is already
running. (...)"
The problem is not that Firefox is running, but that it cannot write a
lock file. (see #4782)
We should inform users about this issue and that they should extract the
bundle to a non-privileged location. This will be added in the short user
manual (#5757). But having this available in the FAQ allows us to point
users to it, instead of mailing or linking tsum.
