Extension to spoof TimeZone

Unread post by DarknessStorm » 2019-03-08, 14:52

Greetings.
Is there any extension, that can manually spoof detected Timezone? (for example, - to be the efficient way to spoof it on detection-sites, like whoer.net)

Current FF shows a spoof extension. (Will not work in PM).
http://legacycollector.org/firefox-addons/ shows various "zone" extensions. (No idea what they are.)
If your OS timezone is stored in a variable, you might be able to modify its value (like from within a script file) which then calls palemoon.exe?
If you ran through a proxy, sites in question might display data based on that...?

There're no such addons in the legacy section...
and i don't know the way to spoof timezone by an external soft.
maybe it can be done with scripting-addons (like greasemonkey)?

Based on what you want, using a VPN can be an option.

If you are on Linux, you can control timezone by TZ variable:

Code: Select all

TZ=UTC palemoon
or

Code: Select all

TZ=Europe/Paris palemoon

This works for me in PM 28.5 on Win7 Pro 64 bit:

Code: Select all

SET TZ=GMT-6
"C:\Program Files\Pale Moon\palemoon.exe"
Copy the txt into a txt file, save it with a .bat extension, and use it to launch PM.

Obv, you edit the TZ as req - noting that "-" does in fact mean "+", and vice versa.
And you edit the path, so it points to your browser install.

Then you go somewhere like this - https://whatismytimezone.com/ - to test it.

I assume a search engine will tell you the line to write to get the cmd box to go away after its done its thing.
