Steps to reproduce:

build firefox with icu73

Open https://webbrowsertools.com/timezone/

Actual results:

browser reports timezone as utc

browser should show local timezone

further information:

this due to https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/pull/2323

after this change firefox cant detect timezone, the issue is somehow related to sandbox

I guess this might bite us in the future on more distros, so worth taking a look at.

It did, in fact, bite us on other distros, including with “normal” filesystem layouts. Merging this into bug 1848615.
