Firefox seems to be set to wrong time zone

My laptop seems to be on the correct time zone, but when I access websites through Firefox they seem to see a different time. For example, it's currently around 6 p.m. where I live and that's what my laptop says, but when I open my email in Firefox it thinks it's already after midnight. This discrepancy has shown up with multiple websites, so I'm pretty sure it's something going on with the browser. It only happens on my laptop though, not on the mobile version of Firefox. There is no setting to change time zone in Firefox settings so I can't fix this. Please help!

Followed some "hardening" "good advice" online lately? Resist Fingerprinting

"Resist Fingerprinting changes a lot of browser behavior […] The timezone is reported as UTC"
