Firefox websites displaying incorrect times
Hello. I just got a new computer, and when I installing Firefox, I went to gmail, and all the times were so early. like three or four hours earlier than the time I have on my computer. It happens on every website, not just on gmail. Can you help? Thanks

How are you confirming the times other then through gmail for both Browser and computer?
I look at my time on the bottom right, windows 10
Also, thanks for the fast reply! I've been wanting to fix this since last week
did you flip the privacy.resistFingerprinting preference? that will make firefox report your timezone as utc...
How do I do that?

enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named privacy.resistFingerprinting. double-click it and change its value to false.
Hello SullyBully,
Would you please try this :
Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)
Type in the search bar privacy.resist
Look for the preference privacy.resistFingerprinting
and make sure that its value is set to false (= default)
If you had to change the value, then close and restart Firefox in order for the change to take effect.
Does that work ?

It was already false:
That setting was already false
Stab in the dark, but would you please take a look at the Chosen Solution in this thread :

Worth a try ......
I just found this thread :
You can check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click the clock icon on the Windows Taskbar.
You can see the current time and time zone if you paste this code in the command line of the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console; Ctrl+Shift+K). Paste each of these one at the time in the command line and press Enter to see the result.
- "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Web Developer
- (new Date());
- (new Date()).toString();
- (new Date()).toLocaleString("en-US",{weekday:"long",day:"numeric",month:"long",year:"numeric",hour:"numeric",minute:"numeric",second:"numeric",hour12:false,timeZoneName:"long"});
