try this script in firefox 3.5.3 as the URL

javascript:var tem =new Date();alert(tem.getYear());

says 109 instead of 2009. looks like the default starting year 1900 has set to 0 in new browser thus 109 for 2009

Reproducible: Always

1.javascript:var tem =new Date();alert(tem.getYear());
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
109

Expected Results:  
2009

getYear() used to work differently in Netscape (standards compliant) and Internet Explorer (not standards compliant). That's why the 1.5 standard says that you should sue getFullYear().
