Hello, is it possible that Mavericks does not track the timeserver correctly?
I had problems with the ebay time while bidding. The time on the item main window runs down. But in the small "bidding window" the time was running suddenly upwards. Finally I lost to bid because the main item window was showing time left and suddenly I got bidding closed.
I think, I got the problem more than onces but never realized that something went technically wrong.
I use FF Dynasty, no addons, Pihole, nothing else.
While looking on google to get some information about that, I found that more people seem to have this problem without knowing their OS and system characteristics.
 
Well, it's pretty easy to test if your computer's clock is correct—put your Mac and some other timekeeping device that sets to an internet clock (e.g. a phone) side by side and see if the minutes change at exactly the same moment.

If there's a problem, you can always set the time manually in System Preferences → Date & Time.
 
@ wowfunhappy, thanks for reply! the time sync war disabled. In some cases I do this, for ex install with expired certs and other. So stupid. It was probably the reason. Thanks!
