new Date() works differently in Chrome and Firefox

Question

I want to convert date string to Date by javascript, use this code:

var date = new Date(\'2013-02-27T17:00:00\');
alert(date);

Answer 1

I found one thing here. It seems the native Firefox Inspector Console might have a bug: If I run "new Date()" in the native Inspector, it shows a date with wrong timezone, GMT locale, but running the same command in the Firebug Extension Console, the date shown uses my correct timezone (GMT-3:00).
