Comment (by yawning):

 nb: Not really a Tor Browser developer, though I sometimes play one on tv.

 While this is sort of a Linux-ism, any thoughts on using XDG Base
 Directories (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-
 spec-latest.html).  In this case something like
 `$XDG_DATA_HOME/<subdir>/`, with a default of `~/.local/share/` if the env
 var isn't set (`~/.local/share/tor-browser/` for example).
