There is not need to create a new user just for testing Iceweasel for
config problems. Start Iceweasel from a terminal with the option
-ProfileManager. It starts Iceweasel's profile manager where you can
create/delete profiles. Create a new one and do the tests. When done,
you can delete the profile with the manager.
