Firefox thinks the time is different than my computer does
I just got a PC after years using a mac and I already want to throw it out the window. LOL.
Basically, all of a sudden my Gmail thinks I'm receiving emails at 1:04AM when it's 8:06PM. My computer is set to the right timezone and I've tried all the tricks to sync it; nothing appears wrong with the computer itself. Only Gmail.
So I opened up the javascript console and did a date search, per: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Time_and_time_zone_settings
"Wed Sep 20 2017 01:09:26 GMT+0000 (UTC)"
Which is what the current UTC time is.
I also opened GMail in Internet Explorer, and the times were all correct. So this is obviously an issue specifically with Firefox.

Um I mean 1:06AM when it's 8:06AM. It's off by round even hours, not by hours and minutes.
What do these give?
- (new Date()).toLocaleString();
- (new Date()).getTimezoneOffset();
(new Date()).toLocaleString(); "9/19/2017, 8:44:51 PM"
(That's the correct local time)
(new Date()).getTimezoneOffset(); 0
(That's the number zero)
This sounds more like an issue with Gmail, so maybe check its preferences page.
