Steps to reproduce:
Please Update IANA timezone db to 2019b
According to the announcement at
https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2019-July/000056.html
Brazil no longer observes DST.
In JS console in should work like these:
new Date(Date.UTC(2019,7,20,9,59)).toLocaleString("en",{timezone: "America/Sao_Paulo", timeZoneName: "long"})
new Date(Date.UTC(2019,12,20,9,59)).toLocaleString("en",{timezone: "America/Sao_Paulo", timeZoneName: "long"})
tested 60.0.8esr
Actual results:
new Date(Date.UTC(2019,7,20,9,59)).toLocaleString("en",{timezone: "America/Sao_Paulo", timeZoneName: "long"})
"8/20/2019, 6:59:00 AM Brasilia Standard Time"
new Date(Date.UTC(2019,12,20,9,59)).toLocaleString("en",{timezone: "America/Sao_Paulo", timeZoneName: "long"})
"1/20/2020, 7:59:00 AM Brasilia Summer Time"
Expected results:
new Date(Date.UTC(2019,7,20,9,59)).toLocaleString("en",{timezone: "America/Sao_Paulo", timeZoneName: "long"})
"8/20/2019, 6:59:00 AM Brasilia Standard Time"
new Date(Date.UTC(2019,12,20,9,59)).toLocaleString("en",{timezone: "America/Sao_Paulo", timeZoneName: "long"})
"1/20/2020, 6:59:00 AM Brasilia Standard Time"

I have set this bug's component as (Core) JavaScript Engine because it seems to contain this timezone related code. Please set a more appropriate one if incorrect. Thank you.

Is it really correct, considering that the duplicate bug is already fixed and uplifted since a month ago?

The tzdata 2019b release was right before the last Firefox release, so the changes didn't make it into Firefox 68 and 60.8. And therefore they've been in the tree for quite some time, but aren't yet visible in any Firefox releases. For example here's the result from Beta (69.0b14):
> new Date(Date.UTC(2019,12,20,9,59)).toLocaleString("en",{timeZone: "America/Sao_Paulo", timeZoneName: "long"})
"1/20/2020, 6:59:00 AM Brasilia Standard Time"
(Please note when trying to reproduce with the test cases from comment #0, that the correct property name is timeZone (with capital Z) and not timezone.)
