Is your timezone UTC+1 or UTC-1? I see the same behavior here.
It seems that getTimezoneOffset() has a problem with Opera.

Try this out:
<script language="JavaScript">
~    var d = new Date();
~    document.write(d.getHours() + ":" + d.getMinutes() + ":" +
d.getSeconds());
~    document.write("<br/>Offset: " + d.getTimezoneOffset() / 120);
</script>

In Firefox:
9:36:32
Offset: -1

In Opera:
7:36:18
Offset: 0
