Bug 279458: mail/thunderbird Java console Date() incorrect
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=279458



--- Description ---
I noticed that the Received date and time for emails was off by two hours.  My
system timezone is correct (CST6CDT), but Date() in thunderbird's java console
reports:
  Date()
  "Sat Jun 01 2024 17:21:42 GMT-0700 (Central Standard Time)" 
Which is completely wrong.  Central Standard Time is UTC-6, not -7, and we're
currently on DST, so it should be UTC-5.  As a result, all the received times
reported are off by two hours.
