resistFingerprinting won't turn off

resistFingerprinting turned itself on a few months back. I'd like it off, since it passing my time zone as GMT causes issues. Every time I turn it off however, it turns itself back on within 30 minutes or so. Any idea how to turn it off and keep it off, or at the very least just turn off the time zone spoofing?

This has been happening on Dev Edition in versions 68 and 69.

Does this happen while Firefox is running?

It only changes back upon a restart of Firefox.

The user.js and prefs.js solutions mentioned in the link don't seem to solve the issue; I might try a refresh soon.

You can check the prefs.js file in the profile folder with Firefox closed to see if there is a line about this pref.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
