Time showing on some sites differ from sytem time.
Hello! When entering some (in tis case financial: https://www.nordnet.se/se) sites the time shown are exactly 2hours behind the system time. If system time is 11:15 (correct time zone in Sweden) the time shown on the site is 09:15. This is probably something that has to do with an update of Firefox. I have automatic update to Firefox but the problem has been there for some months although I have not been able to recognice it until the recent week. I have tried a "clean" new install of Firefox to a new directory with no import of bookmarks or anything but the problem is exactly the same. For your information I have tried a clean install of Duckduckgo browser which do not suffer this problem. But I want to keep with Firefox which I have used since at least 15years. I guess there is a "timestamp" or samething that have gone wrong, but should be easy to correct if you just know where to look. Best regards /Gunnar

No screenshots showing the issue??? No steps to replicate? Where on the site is it showing the time?
Here is the link which will take you to the place where the screenshots are taken. Note that this stockexchange site probably is not updated when transactions are closed, that is between 17:00 and 09:00 swedish time. https://www.nordnet.se/marknaden/aktiekurser/16100356-abb
Screenshots from Firefox and from Duckduckgo This "timedifferens" makes the program, that the company that manages my accounts uses, display totally wrong figures and graphs. They claim, of course, that the problem lies in Firefox since it works ok in the other tested browsers ie Chrome, Edge, Duckduckgo, Brave... I have not the knowledge to argue about that. As I said before it might just be a simple correction in for example about:config... /Gunnar
If you have enabled "Resist Fingerprinting", set this pref in about:config to false to disable this feature.
- privacy.resistFingerprinting => false

privacy.resistFingerprinting => false was set to true, but unfortunately the change to false did not solve the problem. But the company who wrote the program with the troubles not showing figures and graphs correctly have yesterday acknowledged that there are some problems while using Firefox. Since they have several customers using their service/program using Firefox too, they will now try to figure it out and solve it. Sorry to say there are far to many that don´t care about their privacy and use chrome, edge or whatever... I will stick to Firefox though. Thanks for your answer, and and if the company solves it I will immediately post back here. /Gunnar
