As the title says, firefox is showing the time wrong by an hour in many/all websites.

-PC time is correct -ResistFingerprints is OFF -Firefox is fully updated -No VPN or any plugins that affect timezone or hide it

Time is going straight from the pc to the websites. My timezone is Berlin, yet when writing emails it shows the "draft saved at" an hour earlier than it actually is. Timezone on the email account is set to Berlin. Firefox gets the time from the PC, the PC's time is set automatically by the internet. The PC has no issue fetching the correct time and the battery on the motherboard is fine. Other browsers seem to have this problem too, but I cant figure out why.

Is the timezone set correctly ?

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.

  • (new Date()).toLocaleString("en-US",{weekday:"long",day:"numeric",month:"long",year:"numeric",hour:"numeric",minute:"numeric",second:"numeric",hour12:false,timeZoneName:"short"});
  • (new Date()).getTimezoneOffset(); //offset in minutes: hours*60

This is the result I got. I hope this is readable.

I assume that this shows the correct time for Berlin (GMT+2;l offset:-120).

What website(s) show the wrong time ?
