Half-baked address bar unit converter

Apparently the address bar can now be used as a unit converter. Great. Except... it sucks.

The supported list of time zones is pathetically incomplete. Where are the various Hour±30mins or Hour±45mins TZs?

Also, it seems FF is relying on a subset of the TZ abbreviations list? Why, when these have so much overlap? For example,

IST = Irish Standard Time = UTC+01:00
IST = Israel Standard Time = UTC+02:00
IST = Indian Standard Time = UTC+05:30

But FF currently only recognizes IST = Irish Standard Time = UTC+01:00. Why?

What is the point of introducing such half-baked 'features'? Does anyone even review these properly before public release?
