  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.
