Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1421910

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

Attachment: FF_57_Input_Type_Date_Value.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171129230835

Steps to reproduce:

On Firefox 57 whenever I am browsing any sites which use input field with type="date" the date format used is always mm/dd/yyyy. I use en-GB setting on my machine as well as Firefox. To be sure I removed en-US language from Firefox preferences as well.
On the same setup Chrome shows dates in dd/mm/yyyy.

This is getting a bit confusing for me as I am not used to reading/writing the dates in mm/dd/yyyy format. So I always have to double check that I have selected correct date.

I have attached screenshot when browsing below link and selecting date 14 December 2017

Actual results:

FF shows the date in mm/dd/yyyy format


Expected results:

FF should show date in dd/mm/yyyy format
