As you see on the picture above (if Mozilla states it can't connect to the site,
go offline and online again to pass-by DNS pinning), if someone's clock is a
year back, Mozilla News orders this item like it would be the correct date.

The screenshot does not show that the messages are sorted by date -- there is
no sort arrow in the header of the date column.  Chances are they are sorted by
"order received."

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
