[Bug 1173216] [NEW] print to file to desktop actually always print to my home directory

[Colin King]

Public bug reported:

When printing to file in firefox I am asked where where to print to
"Save in folder:" and I select Desktop and it always instead prints to
my home directory.  This has already left me over-writing a file I
didn't want to clobber.
