Firefox is unable to show the correct time zone whenever I google events

whenever I google events (eg NBA games), Google shows me the time of the event in Central European Time, even though my System Preference time is set to Central Daylight Time (difference of 7 hours). I have tried to change the time zone in System Preferences but it does not help. Since I am in a different time zone than CET, showing times from a different time zone is not very convenient.

well I don't even have a Google account. Isn't there a way to change the time in the settings?

You can paste this code in the Web Console to check the current Firefox date/time setting.

  • (new Date()).toLocaleString("en-US",{day:"numeric",month:"long",year:"numeric",hour:"numeric",minute:"numeric",second:"numeric",hour12:false,timeZoneName:"long"});

It's possible Google thinks you are someplace else.

the link tells me the correct local time, yet when I google something the incorrect time zone is displayed; searching for NBA will result in times being displayed in Central European Time again, even though it should be Central Daylight Time

I feel like Google might be thinking that I'm some place else too, but why can't I set it to the correct time zone anywhere?
