--------------------+------------------------------------------
 I'm using the latest TBB on Linux.

 After I start TorBrowser, the directory is created in temporary direcrory
 (in my case /tmp)

 drwx------ 2 user user    4096 Mar  1 12:34 Temp-
 41d8a42b-5545-4af5-89c2-be2502af95c7

 The directory is empty. After I close the TBB, this directory disappears.
 Not sure if it's OK behavior or not.
