im somewhat new to arkenfox and this forum so does arkenfox spoof your timezone by default? my timezone didnt change after i installed arkenfox and im just curious how do i spoof it then? any suggestions?
A quick look at the user.js suggests that yes, provided the RFP (resistFingerprinting) override is enabled. (Add user_pref(“privacy.resistFingerprinting”, true); to user-overrides.js.)
Edit: Check TZP to see what is exposed by the browser.

amiunique reveals my real timezone for some reason
im using the flatpak version of firefox could this be whats causing my problem?
How did you apply Arkenfox?
It does not by default since it made the switch from RFP to FPP some time ago. To get timezone spoofing you’ll have to either enable RFP (privacy.resistFingerprinting) or override the list of enabled FPP protections (privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides).
Firefox sources or this tool reveal various possible options for privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides. FPP defaults do not include timezone spoofing.
Also be aware that the default FPP canvas randomization fails to engage in some scenarios, exposing the unmodified canvas to fingerprinting.

I don’t think the issue is related to Flatpak. You probably don’t have RFP on.

I have never attempted to apply Arkenfox to a Flatpak installed Firefox; however, the Flatpak installed Firefox profile is probably located in a subfolder of the following:
~/.var/app
The question was meant to see if they applied it correctly, I wasn’t asking for how to do it really.
