I used privacy.resistFingerprinting until I realized that was the reason websites were displaying times incorrectly, as they receive the default timezone value of UTC - [0] - and I couldn't find a way around it.

- smichel17 6y agoThat's a feature, not a bug. Your time zone is one of the ways you can be fingerprinted. That said, it wouldn't hurt to split it out into a different about:config preference. I'd probably disable it since I don't use a vpn so my time zone can be deduced from my IP anyway.
- stuartd 6y agoI know it’s a feature, but even sites which allow you to set a timezone (eg Slack) still displayed times incorrectly. It was a tradeoff I was not prepared to make.
