env: Force a separate Firefox profile

Otherwise Firefox launched in the guest will concurrently access the
host profile, corrupting it. We can make it not do that by implementing
locks, which would fix the corruption but would still break the browser
in the guest. So let's explicitly set a muvm-private Firefox profile.
