Bug 42397: Change RFP-spoofed TZ to Atlantic/Reykjavik.

browser/components/resistfingerprinting/test/browser/browser_timezone.js

 /**
  * Bug 1330890 - A test case for verifying Date() object of javascript will use
- *               UTC timezone after fingerprinting resistance is enabled.
+ *               Atlantic/Reykjavik timezone (GMT and "real" equivalent to UTC)
+ *               after fingerprinting resistance is enabled.
