Indeed, the "privacy.resistFingerprinting" setting in makes an attempt to avoid leaking personally identifying information about you. Locale and time zone are two such pieces of information which narrow down the set of people you might be, even if you are using Tor or a VPN. It is set to "true" by default in IceCat, and "false" by default in upstream Firefox. We should probably expose the "privacy.resistFingerprinting" in the IceCat-specific privacy settings in , since it's a setting that many users will want to turn off. The same setting also causes problems for some Javascript programs, including some audio/video players.
