Thunderbird 102.10.1
User in Spain and Windows 11 set up correctly for Date/Time and Timezone
Using Thunderbird English GB
regardless of whether using Settings > General > Date & Time Formating - 'Application locale' en-GB or 'Regional settings locale' Spain
Date column in Message List and Message Pane header is always UTC
Error console using Date()  always returns UTC/GMT
privacy.resistFingerprinting = false
User has provided good images and info at link.

privacy.resistFingerprinting = true will cause Date to be UTC and ignore correct date/times
privacy.resistFingerprinting = false normally means correct date time is shown.

Attempting to reset to true, restart Thunderbird then reset to 'false' and restart Thunderbird had no effect.

Thunderbird users require correct time/date for emails so by default need 'privacy.resistFingerprinting' = 'false' - I'm not sure whether anyone would require it setting to anything else for obvious reasons. Why is it even a setting in Thunderbird ?  Getting a fix on this is important and urgent.
