Bug 41542: Disable the creation of a default profile

Firefox creates a profile as a fallback for old versions.
However, we do not need this, so we want to prevent Firefox from
creating the related directories.

We comment out the code, but should Mozilla be interested in a
compile-time flag, we could rewrite the patch to add one.
