I am trying to set my default timezone to local, as described here: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1262837

However, whenever I set the "calendar.timezone.local" option to "floating", it turns back to "Europe/Paris". Any idea? Thanks!

(I am using 91.2.0.)

Just wondering why you would not want your appointments to show your timezone. I have seen folks carrying on about daylight saving changing their appointment times because their system in not correctly configured. But I really do not understand why you would want a timezone

Based on this bit of code from https://searchfox.org/comm-central/source/calendar/base/src/CalTimezoneService.jsm get defaultTimezone() { 

   if (!this.mDefaultTimezone) {
     let prefTzid = Services.prefs.getStringPref("calendar.timezone.local", null);
     let tzid = prefTzid;
     // If a user already has a profile created by an earlier version
     // with floating timezone, set the correctly determined timezone.

I guess it is changing because floating is not longer supported and it is being replaced by the correct timezone information.

Thanks a lot, Matt!

My main reason is that when traveling across time zones, I hate to see my events shifted. If I plan for a 8PM event some day in some place (hence in some time zone), I want to see it at 8PM, not at some random time depending on the current time zone I am in. Makes sense?

Anyway, thanks again for your help, though I understand there is no solution for my problem, and will not be one at least in the near future.
