Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1337069

(Core :: Layout: Form Controls, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.94 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

I'm on OSX using 57 in en-GB locale, using a input[type="date"] input and the UI is displaying mm/dd/yyyy, not dd/mm/yyyy. The value is correctly YYYY-MM-DD.

Can see this on https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date

I see there's 4 tickets filed, but from around a year ago. Also I tried this with the Beta and I believe it was correctly formatted.


Actual results:

Placeholder and selected dates UI are showing mm/dd/yyyy


Expected results:

Should show dd/mm/yyyy

What's your browser locale? Firefox probably uses the browser locale, not system locale, as I documented in https://www.fxsitecompat.com/en-CA/docs/2017/intl-api-now-uses-browser-locale-by-default-on-all-platforms/

I am experiencing the same issue. Firefox locale is set to en-GB in language and I have restarted it but still seeing date inputs in mm/dd/yyyy. OS locale is also en-GB. I am on Windows 10.

My locale was set to en-US, if 57 set it to that, that would explain why the beta seemed to be displaying fine.

Anyway I changed my locale to en-GB and still seeing the issue. I have a screenshot, but can't see how to attach it.

This is what window.navigator is reporting and it is still MM/DD/YYYY after restarting FF

language: "en-GB"
languages: Array [ "en-GB", "en-US", "en" ]

Is macOS using POSIX locales?
