Mike do you have time to look at this?

Trying to find the fix in mozregression right now and am stuck in a busted build loop... it's fixed in Nightly, but I'm curious if it's due to a Nightly-only pref or similar.

I'd bet a dollar it's Makoto Kato — Bug 1215247 - Turn on ICU and Intl API for Android. r=Waldo that fixes this.

OK, yeah. This site is using the Internationalization API, which was Nightly only, until 56 (current Nightly), according to Bug 1344625.

> {getDateTimeFormat:A(Intl.DateTimeFormat),getNumberFormat:A(Intl.NumberFormat)

So this site should just work once 56 hits release.

Correct. We just enabled Intl API in 56 so should be fixed once it gets shipped! :)

Nothing to track in this bug. Closing it out.
