Jan, you'll be amused by this.

Last week, both my Mac and Windows PC had correct times on the system
clock and the Age/SMH time display in Firefox. You reported a
difference between your Windows system clock (correct) and the Age
home page (incorrect).

This week, my Mac is still correct (it went back an hour). But on the
PC, the Windows system tray clock is correct but the time display on
Age/SMH is still showing DST time (it is advanced by an hour w.r.t.
the system clock). What's your PC doing this week?
