It's seems to be a recent move in Fedora : the TMPDIR  variable 
pointing to /var/tmp is hard coded in Firefox script :

> From /usr/bin/firefox:

   ## Use $MOZ_TMPDIR if set. Otherwise use /var/tmp instead of /tmp
   ## because of 1GB /tmp limit in Fedora 18 and later.
   ## See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=867073

I could define the $MOZ_TMPDIR variable pointing to /tmp, but it will 
mean that an addon change the behavior of all Firefox, which I think 
will not be quit good.

I continue my investigation on how nsIProcess (interface that provides 
a way to run third party applications from Firefox) works, to see if I 
can define a tmp dir only for the process I create to run Zim.
