User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.2) Gecko/20040308
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9

ftp://toms.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/eptoms/data/oz2004
(Anonymous login).
There is one file added to the directory per day.  Firefox 0.9 on Windows XP
Service Pack 1, and Mozilla 1.4.2 on Linux (Red Hat 9) both show some of the
files as being from year 2003.  Every other FTP client I have tried shows all
files from year 2004.  (Command line FTP in Linux and Windows; gftp; FTP
Voyager; Internet Explorer.)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ftp://toms.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/eptoms/data/oz2004
2. Look at the directory listing.  Near the end some of the files have the wrong
year.

Actual Results:

Same here - my ftp client sees 2004, but FF sees 2003.

DUP of Bug 236365 ?

Comment 3

[Andrew Benham]

I'm seeing this too using:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2
Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1

on Fedora Core 3 Linux.

The listing of ftp://mersenne.org/gimps/ exhibits this.
Files up to and including Mar 11 are shown correctly.
Files since then (Mar 21 and later) are shown a year earlier than they really
are. This ticket is dated Apr 1 - so Mar 11 is 3 weeks ago.

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.
