When I DL'd the newest Firefox (5.0) and came back here, all was well. So I decided it must be a problem with Chrome.

It is. I just tried it, and it wants to format timestamps like "Sun Jul 31 2011 19:49:48 GMT-0400 (EDT)". It's supposed to honor whatever date/time zone and format you have configured for your machine. It's getting the zone right, but not the format.

FR pages download with all the timestamps formatted in Pacific time, e.g., "07/31/2011 4:49:43 PM PDT". There is a JavaScript loop that rifles through all the timestamps on the page and tries to convert each one to the local zone and format by calling, for example, new Date("07/31/2011 4:49:43 PM PDT").toLocaleString(). Chrome's toLocaleString function is broken.

Is that something John R. can fix, or is it endemic to Chrome?
