    forced

    Enabled by default and “forced” are two different things. Your comment is misleading.

    You have a couple of options:

    1. Turn off ResistFingerprinting and use something else if you want similar functionality, like CanvasBlocker
    2. Add trusted domains to privacy.resistFingerprinting.exemptedDomains in the about:config page.

      When I say “forced,” I mean that you shouldn’t have to go into about:config to hunt for something that doesn’t even say the phrase “time zone” in it to disable this. It should be openly in the browser’s options. There should also be a warning about this; I read of no such notice when first firing it up. It came off as shady and an unwanted, initially forced “feature” that caused way more problems than it solved.
