[Solved] Wrong date in Firefox (and not Falcon)

Hi,

Firefox suses the wrong current date in websites.

Example website to showcase this is :  https://www.buienradar.nl/weer/amsterda … 4/14daagse 
- in firefox, which now show the info for today (Wednesday morning) as the info for Tuesday the 23th.
- In Falkon, the problem does not exist.

This renders various features ( like selecting a date in a darechooser for reservations) unworkable.
(i can make screenshots if needed)

$ timedatectl 
               Local time: Wed 2024-04-24 06:05:00 CEST
           Universal time: Wed 2024-04-24 04:05:00 UTC
                 RTC time: Wed 2024-04-24 04:05:00
                Time zone: Europe/Amsterdam (CEST, +0200)
System clock synchronized: no
              NTP service: active
          RTC in local TZ: no

Any advice on how to change this firefox behaviour, or where it gets its time from?

Thanks,

Alex.

Re: [Solved] Wrong date in Firefox (and not Falcon)

Right, figured it out.... I messed up my locale, and apparently only firefox uses those.

So I reconfigured according to:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Locale  using:

# localectl set-locale LANG=nl_nl.UTF-8

solved this....
