Comment:

 Hrmm.. Your patch is not really a fix.. Removing the directory after the
 fact is not the solution. We should try to figure out how to alter
 Torbutton to prevent it from being created in the first place.

 Also, right now this is only considered a smoldering ember rather than a
 serious issue.. No actual client data is stored in this Mozilla directory,
 right?
