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:
about:configintl.regional_prefs.use_os_localestotrueAnd here’s an explanation of the value as well as an explanation of why it is set to false by default:

Tl;dr:
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!
