There is a bug with JavaScript in Firefox when running on machines with the recently modified Americas/Caracas time zone.
It has happened to me on my Mac and recently on one of my Linux machines.
Apple solved the problem with one of their updates,but in Linux I had to dig it out myself. What I did was use the tzselect command and set a custom time zone of name “America/Caracas/” with an offset of +4:30
Hi Omar, same problem here (Ubuntu and Debian).
In LaunchPad the bug is documented, but they haven’t even get that the problem is in the JS (i just point them to the mac forum, hope that will make them work towards the solution, this thing really annoys me)
What i couldnt use is your workaround, my man page of tzselect says:
“Note that tzselect will not actually change the timezone for you. Use
’dpkg-reconfigure tzdata’ to achieve this”
I use dpkg-reconfigure but i couldnt define a timezone with GMT-430, it only defines GMT-4, GMT-5 and so.
Any suggestion?
