Comment (by cypherpunks):

 We need to redirect `NS_OS_TEMP_DIR` to `\Tor
 Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Browser\Caches\profile.default` or
 something similar. And it is overridden by
 `NS_APP_CONTENT_PROCESS_TEMP_DIR` https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 central/rev/5136dcccfe4a#l4.13
 Temp directory suffix can be set via pref https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 central/rev/5136dcccfe4a#l2.145
 on Mac too https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 esr52/source/browser/app/profile/firefox.js#1019
