I am suffering from a frustrating issue with Iceweasel (2.0.0.6, Debian unstable amd64).
I have a LiveJournal, and the post form has date and time fields on it. These are automatically filled in with the current date and time, using JavaScript. Problem is, Firefox thinks the time is four hours later than it really is (basically it's displaying time in UTC). Visiting a JavaScript tutorial page that displays the date and time has confirmed this is not an LJ-specific bug. My time zone is currently EDT -0400. Right now, the local time is 5:24 PM (17:24). But according to Firefox, it is 9:24 PM (21:24). The 'date' command displays the correct time and time zone, and so does the clock applet in gnome-panel. This machine's only operating system is Linux, so the hardware clock _should_ be in UTC. Does anyone know how Iceweasel determines the time zone and how to configure it to the proper time zone? -- Andrew Barr We matter more than pounds and pence, your economic theory makes no sense... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
