New version of user.js:
user.js/user.js at 6446d73cf572fcdf631534a5a51276a64eec4a2d · arkenfox/user.js · GitHub
mentions under RFP title:
spoof timezone as Atlantic/Reykjavik (previously FF55+ was UTC)
What that means exactly? I search for it but I could not find anything useful…
UPDATE: My question is not about to learn UTC and time-zone terms. I know the terms. But why it changed today? Why we don’t use any other country which use UTC+0 ? What happened and make a decision?

I updated my original post. My question was not about to learn what they are… but why they make a decision today…

### NOTE
## ⭐ ⚠️ there is a migration of prefs coming in FF128 for sanitizing (on close and manually), including new ones,
so make sure to add any new corresponding sanitizing prefs to your overrides if required before 128
## ⭐ ⚠️ in FF128 I will also move arkenfox to using FPP not RFP see #1804
if you want to continue to use RFP (4501) and/or LB (4504) and/or disable webgl (4520) then you might as well add them to your overrides as well, so I don't change them on you without warning.
see [this comment below](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/issues/1846#issuecomment-2153830049) for my overrides
