Spoof Timezone
This extension alters browser timezone to a random or user-defined value.
Spoof Timezone - Firefox Add-On for Timezone Privacy
"Spoof Timezone" is a Firefox add-on designed to protect your privacy by spoofing your current timezone. It provides websites with a user-defined or random timezone instead of the real one, making it harder for tracking scripts to use this information for browser fingerprinting. The add-on also offers an option to check the visible timezone and a toolbar button to easily enable or disable the function.
