`mkdir -p /home/neko/.mozilla/firefox/profile.default/extensions` (and
the same for `.waterfox`) runs as root and only `profile.default` was
handed to the neko user, so the directories above it stayed root-owned.
The crash reporter of current Firefox (158 in the 3.2 images) keeps its
reports and Glean store in `.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports`; after a
browser crash it cannot create that directory and exits with
failed to acquire Glean store: Os { code: 13, kind: PermissionDenied, ... }
(toolkit/crashreporter/client/app/src/send_ping.rs:51)
or, in auto-submit mode,
Failed to create directory (/home/neko/.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports/pending): Permission denied
so no report survives. Verified on firefox:3.2.0 by running the reporter
against a main-process minidump: it fails as shipped and creates
`Crash Reports/{glean,pending,events}` once `.mozilla` belongs to neko.
Waterfox builds its profile root the same way and gets the same fix.
The other apps are fine: the base image chowns all of /home/neko, the
Chromium-based ones and remmina only COPY --chown files into it,
tor-browser chowns its whole /opt install.
