The regression is likely in https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/68543a46ef49
Likely in _dateFormatter, year: '2-digit' should surely be changed to full year, and uplifted.
The rest is opinable, looks like we were using a sort-of ISO 8601 date, but with slashes. I'd suggest to be consistent with the most common UI our users may be used to see, that is Windows Explorer.

I was looking at various Explorer sshots around.
Looks like in ja we want YYYY/MM/DD HH:MM while in en-us MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM AM
Based on the screenshots, the only thing we should change is the 4digits year.

Yes, it should be a 4-digit year. (Apparently that's what we were getting from Ci.nsIScriptableDateFormat.dateFormatShort despite the "short" part of its name...)
Thanks for taking care of this, Marco.

[Has the fix been verified in Nightly?]: not yet, nightly will be available in a few hours.

I have reproduced this issue using Firefox 52.0b4 (20170206101855) on Win 8.1 x64.
I can confirm this issue is fixed, I verified using Firefox 52.0b6 and 53.0a2 on Win 8.1 x64, Ubuntu 16.04 x64 and Mac OS X 10.11.
