I have a case in which I get the difference between two dates, current date and previous date, the problem that the difference value between the dates is different between chrome and firefox, I checked, and the two dates have the same time zone, I'm not sure what is the problem, can anyone help me here??

for example:

  var current_date = new Date();
      current_date.setMinutes(current_date.getMinutes() + current_date.getTimezoneOffset());

  var previous_date = new Date(2016,9,20,12,45,00);
       previous_date .setMinutes(previous_date .getMinutes() + previous_date .getTimezoneOffset());

         var diff = current_date - previous_date;

The diff value here is different in chrome from firefox.

update:

the result for the upper script:

on chrome returns the value 2481019194
on firefox returns the value 2481000406

Thanks

Can you supply an example of this difference? – VLAZ Sep 21 '16 at 15:18
for avoid this problems you can use [moment.js](http://momentjs.com/) – clairerb6 Sep 21 '16 at 15:20

Maybe have a look at this similar question to see if this the issue you are running into: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15109894/new-date-works-differently-in-chrome-and-firefox – The Gav Lad Sep 21 '16 at 15:23
I have just edited the post, and put a sample script from what I'm doing. – Omar Taha Sep 21 '16 at 15:27
Getting the same result when I execute them in Chrome and Firefox – VLAZ Sep 21 '16 at 15:30
What's the `+ …_date.getTimezoneOffset()` about? – Bergi Sep 21 '16 at 15:46
@Bergi this is to convert the time to the local time zone – Omar Taha Sep 21 '16 at 15:49
@OmarTaha but the time already *is* in the local timezone? Just use `.toString()` instead of `.toUTCString()` – Bergi Sep 21 '16 at 15:59
@Bergi That's true, I noticed that a little before, but also I got the same result – Omar Taha Sep 21 '16 at 16:03
Again, what diff values are you getting? Please post them ([edit] your question) – Bergi Sep 21 '16 at 16:07
@Bergi just added them – Omar Taha Sep 21 '16 at 16:14

@OmarTaha Those don't appear to be different values. They just tell that you tried it in Chrome about 19 seconds after you tried it in Firefox. – Bergi Sep 21 '16 at 16:17
