Testcase please? (new Date()).toString() returns "Wed Jun 11 2014 01:07:31 GMT-0400 (EDT)" for me.

(new Date()).toLocaleString('en-US', { timeZoneName: 'long' }) returns "6/11/2014, 1:14:37 AM Eastern Daylight Time".
And actually this is correct:
> Actual results:

> the GMT is listed as GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
> the GMT is listed as GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)
EST is -5, EDT is -4. That's my timezone in Toronto.

When I send the date to the back end and when I log new Date() to the console in firebug this is what I get: Date {Wed Jun 11 2014 08:41:13 GMT-0400 (Eastern Standard Time)}. In chrome and IE, when I log new Date(), I get this: Wed Jun 11 2014 09:12:23 GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time) I am using Firefox 29.0.1.
