Running TB 31.7.0 under Mozilla/5.0 (Win 7 64-bit); in Address Book contacts, can specify birthdate for a contact (mm/dd and yyyy). For SOME birthdates the date shows incorrectly (exactly 1 day early) when shown in the Contact Pane (eg., 3/30/1952 shows as 3/29). After experimenting, I only found this problem to occur for birthdates between 3/9 and 4/26 inclusive, and between 9/28 and 11/1 inclusive! Have not reported/searched this in Bugzilla yet.

ditto for above, (version, platform, date range) going to Bugzilla now to search. I have not updated for add-on compatibility but will be doing so shortly.

Some dates outside the range are off by 1 & 2 days now (I know they were originally set properly), but they save to the proper date when updated.

In my case, the date is set properly in the d-box, but in the Address Book display it is -1 day off. It does not export correctly.
