add timezone #1

With current setup, the container is running with UTC TZ. Some web sites/pages are somewhat sensitive to the TZ on the HOST, reporting e.g. "Your computer's time zone does not appear to match your Jira time zone ...".

Thank you @dv8472 for your idea! The aim of this project is to provide the ability to surf a bit more "anonymously" than in a browser installed directly into the host system. So the timezone isolation you have noticed is the intended effect. If you have different needs, feel free to make your own copy or fork. Thanks again and good luck in publishing your improvements!

Good to know about your intention. Since that idea ain't mentioned anywhere, I thought such a customization would be useful. Nevertheless, if you intend to make it bit more anonymous, this with TZ is like nothing, I believe. Have you been thinking about implementing TOR in the same container, and pushing everything in the browser through it?

My requirements are different, to get a stable PM till I find a time to play more with compilations as suggested.
