Description

[Kenneth C. Feldt]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

Javascript toString method for new Date() object returns the wrong date suffix for timezone (The GMT offset is correct)
e.g FFox on windows returns something like...
   Tue Apr 13 .......   GMT-0400 (Eastern Daylight Time)

while OSX returns
                .....   GMT-0400 (EST)

   

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. on page load, use JS to display new Date() toString()
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
'Current time is Tue Apr 12 13:55:00 GMT-0400 (EST)'

Expected Results:  
'Current time is Tue Apr 12 13:55:00 GMT-0400 (EDT)'

See above - works fine on windows
