LibreWolf messes up time zones and makes scheduled content appear at unwanted times. That would normally be fine if there was a way to temporarily switch to your normal time zone in the settings for scheduled posts and chats, but they provide no way to do this without major tinkering in about:config (or whatever the experimental page is); that's why I returned to Wx, which, yes, has been nearly flawless so far.

    There are extensions for overusing time zone. But yeah, I hated that, too. It's another mechanism that it uses to avoid fingerprinting.

    I get that and I know there are ways around it, but none of them are official from the LibreWolf team; that's what rubs me the wrong way. We have to find our own side alleys to bypass it, which is absurd. It infuriated me when a video I scheduled got uploaded at 2 AM or whenever instead of 9 AM, which was what led me to uninstall that deceptive software. I never saw any warning about the forced time zone-changing...
