the time on my firefox browser is not correct. How do I set the time zone for Firefox? It is not the same as my mac computer setting?
I am using a hotmail acount with bigpond. The time that it says I sent an email is out by 11 hours... can you please tell me how to set my firefox browser to be at the right time? My mac is set at the right time zone...

You can see the current time and time zone if you put "alert(Date());" or "alert((new Date).toLocaleString());" without the quotes in the Code field at the top of the "Web Developer > Error Console" window (Cmd+Shift+J) and click the Evaluate button.
You can also do this in the Web Console (Web Developer > Web Console;Cmd+Shift+K).

I was able to do what you suggested, and the time listed in the code field was correct. However, when I sent a test email to myself on the bigpond site, it said it was received at 8:04am when it was actually 18:04. So there is an error of more than half a day. I have a snapshot of the screen if that is helpful. I asked Bigpond about this and they said it was a Firefox problem... Please advise.
Here is the email that was sent to myself:

this one is sent at 18:04, Sat Sept 1st
Check the time zone setting in your bigpond hotmail preferences. My guess it is set for the west coast of the USA, assuming you are in a GMT time zone country.
