Hello All ... When I logged on I noticed the time had changed on my page. Then Firefox notified me of this. The clock on my PC was correct time. Have I been hacked?

Not sure exactly where the server is, but it is probably keeping local time relative to GMT, and there are “daylight-saving” laws in many places.
TL;DR = you probably weren’t hacked.

How far off were the two times?

This is what I'm thinking, too. Here in my corner of Northern Europe we switched to summer time (+1) on March 31st.

Whatever the case, I don't think anyone would hack your computer just to mess with the time settings..

I'm with them, probably not malevolent, but if you are worried can always change password. https://www.icmag.com/ic/profile.php?do=editprofile
