Bug#782320: iceweasel creates spurious "Desktop" directory

Package: iceweasel
Version: 31.6.0esr-1~deb7u1
Severity: minor

$ cd
$ ls
etc  pub  tmp  usr
$ iceweasel &
[1] 29939
$ ls
Desktop  etc  pub  tmp  usr
$ rmdir Desktop
$

No Iceweasel-related configuration initially.  At no point did I ask
iceweasel to do anything with any files.  This ~/Desktop directory should
not be springing into existence: that filename space belongs to me, not
the program.  Iceweasel also creates a ~/.mozilla directory, which is
acceptably within the bounds of Unix convention, though it still ought
to be mentioned in the man page.
