Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1) Gecko/20090624 Firefox/3.5 In the US, most timezones are currently observing daylight saving time. When in Pacific time, if you alert(new Date()), it shows an offset of -0700, but it says "(PST)" instead of "(PDT)". This appears to be specific to Mac and to Firefox 3.5. Testing 3.5 on Windows and testing 3.0 on Mac show the correct string.
confirmed on both Intel & PPC. regression between 3.0 and 3.5, continues in 3.6

Think so. This is older, but the other bug has a regression range and some kind of patch, so...
