XDG Base Directory support, and/or data directory environment variable

[Jamozed]

What happened?

On Linux, the directories .zen and .mozilla are created in the user's home directory, and there does not appear to be a way to override this with an environment variable. Ideally the XDG Base Directory spec would be followed, or failing that an environment variable would be made available to redirect these directories somewhere specific (or both).

Firefox based browsers leaving unwanted clutter in my home directory is possibly the number one issue that has kept me using Chromium, otherwise Zen looks fantastic and I'd love to switch to it if this can be resolved.

Reproducible?

• [ ] I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.
