When selecting time zone, you are forced to go by continent/ocean and then
select the largest city in that timezone.  Sometimes this can be especially
tedious, especially if you can't find the city (I honestly thought my city was
the largest, but apparently not).

I propose that an additional option for selecting time zone be implemented, but
creating a drop-down/list/text box in which the user can select/input their
timezone displacement and have Sunbird Calendar adjust as if the timezone was
selected in the region-city method.

Reproducible: Always
That won't work, since calendar also needs to know when daylight savings changes.

Saw that, but I didn't read it as cascading the time zone menu at first glance
did not seem to be the same.  Anyways, marked as dupe as per your suggestion. 
Sorry for the bother.
