Anyway, I have Arch Linux installed with latest tzdata package: 2011n. Package information is available at: http://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/tzdata. I noticed weird behaviour in Firefox when I try to enter some dates during WW2. Basically summer time doesn't get accounted for. Here is a simple test I ran in Firefox:
8<--------------------------------------------------------- var d = new Date(Date.UTC(1942, 5, 11, 22, 0, 0, 0));
// Firefox 8.0.1, Rhino 1.7 release 3 2011 10 16 d.toString(); // Thu Jun 11 1942 23:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET)
// this is what I expect: // Chrome15, IE8, nodejs 0.6.2, and code in Java and Ruby d.toString(); // Fri Jun 12 1942 00:00:00 GMT+0200 (CEST) --------------------------------------------------------->8
Try running this in a shell: $ TZ=Europe/Zagreb date -d '1942-06-11 22:00 UTC' +'%c %z' If this prints the correct date then the bug is most likely in firefox. If not then there is something wrong with your tzdata installation.
