I have a similar requirement and use a self-written script in Tampermonkey, in which I falsify the wrong time (GMT) to the correct time just for websites I have previously defined. Specifically, I overwrite the newDate function on these.

This means that Librewolf always displays the wrong time (GMT) by default, except for websites I want to have the correct time (which just are a few) without the need to disable RFP.

Yes, of course. You will have to adapt it to your time zone, as the German time zone is currently hardcoded. If I had known back then that I would be sharing this at some point, I would have tried harder. 😅

ArchWiki: Hibernate on low battery level

This approach uses udev, so you don’t have to constantly check the battery level by yourself.
