Description

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1069979 +++

Trying to reproduce bug 912710 with a recent Nightly, I noticed that Firefox wouldn't return the name of my localized timezone ("Mitteleuropäische Zeit"/"Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit") at the end of the string, but IE and Chrome do.

http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/6b1f01887b3e/js/src/jsdate.cpp#l2568

This check is throwing away all strings which hold other characters than ASCII-letters, numbers and some punctuation.

Test: new Date().toString();
or open URL

Happening in Windows 7 (and XP iirc).
