Is it possible? I’d like my dates, time etc. to be displayed in the way I’m used to while keeping the browser in English. I’ve tried setting the LC_DATE environment variable as well, but it doesn’t respect that.
Edit: Solved!
- go to
about:config - set
intl.regional_prefs.use_os_localestotrue - restart firefox.

Tl;dr:
- go to
about:config - set
intl.regional_prefs.use_os_localestotrue - restart firefox.
And here’s an explanation of the value as well as an explanation of why it is set to false by default:

Example: It might lead to a UI case like “Today is 24 października” in an English Firefox with Polish date formats.I’m quite fine with that, but mostly I want dates on the web be in the format I’m used to. I’ll read the article, thanks!
- go to
In GNOME it’s as simple as shown in the image: Settings -> Region and Language:
I did the equivalent in Cinnamon, but Firefox doesn’t respect that:
LC_TIME
Firefox doesn’t seem to respect that, it’s set correctly to
cs_CZ.UTF-8.In Firefox about:preferences, there should be the option to use the language preferences specified by the OS.
Do you, by any chance, know which one?
In my FF’s
about:configthere is a setting calledintl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales, defaulted tofalse. Maybe this can be used?Yep, that was it, thanks!
In the firefox settings, you can change default language
Not a solution, as I said:
while keeping the browser in English
