Commits: 24d6492f by Pier Angelo Vendrame at 2024-09-04T16:15:43+00:00 Bug 42773: Replace ~ with the original home.

In Bug 93141, Mozilla started sending users to their home when they type ~ in the URL bar. On Linux, we change $HOME for various reason, therefore you would be redirected to the spoofed home directory when typing ~. So, we check if the original home directory is known, and use that, instead.
