#5073: torbutton breaks leechblock extension

The leechblock extension < http://www.proginosko.com/leechblock.html > to
Firefox allows the user block access to certain sites during certain times
of the day, in order to reduce the temptation for time-wasting. It seems
to interact badly with torbutton; it fails to enforce the blocking time
periods correctly; blocking tends to start and end several hours
early/late.
I think the problem is that leechblock relies on the javascript Date
object to report the current local time correctly; AFAICT torbutton wraps
this and forces it to report GMT instead. Leechblock gets additionally
confused as the local time reported by the Date object changes whenever
torbutton is toggled.
Is it possible for torbutton to wrap the Date object in such a way that it
reports GMT as local time to javascript code running on web pages, and the
correct local time to firefox extensions?
Tested using Leechblock version 0.5.2, and the versions of Firefox and
Torbutton packaged with Debian squeeze (i.e. a patched Firefox 3.5.16 and
Torbutton 1.2.5)
