Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:79.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/79.0
Steps to reproduce:
I created a a input element with the type attribute set to "date". No value attribute specified.
<input type="date">
My Firefox is set to the Swedish locale.
Actual results:
Firefox rendered the input widget with a default placeholder of "YYYY-MM-DD".
Expected results:
The input widget should say "ÅÅÅÅ-MM-DD", since my Firefox locale is Swedish, not English.

Hmm, there's some localization code here.
Zibi, do you know why that may not be working as expected? Maybe the datetimebox should use a wider set of locales than the "web-exposed" locale list?
Reporter, do you know if this worked on a previous Firefox version? Maybe it's a regression in our localization code somehow.

No, I don't know if this has ever worked previously in any previous version of Firefox.

Do we localize placeholders at all?

I think this is a localization issue for the Swedish locale. These strings are probably not properly localized in Swedish. I just tried with a Spanish Nightly, for example, and they're properly localized there.
Francesco, do you know what the right component for this is?

Either that, or "getWebExposedLocales" is not returning swedish for some reason of course... Reporter, if you enable the browser toolbox as described here, then move to the Console tab, what does getWebExposedLocales() return for you?
For example, for me it returns [ "es-ES", "en-US" ] in an Spanish localized Nightly.

Bugs for Swedish would go in Mozilla Localizations :: sv-SE / Swedish.
https://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/sv-SE/file/default/toolkit/chrome/global/datetimebox.dtd#l23
To test, just type data:text/html,<input type="date"/> in the address bar.
On a side note, if the placeholder comes from locales, we might get in confusing state when OS and Firefox locale don't match.

Same problem in Firefox 78 Beta 9 on Manjaro and changed it on Pontoon to åååå as Microsoft uses that too and its more correct for Swedish
so anyone feel like merging or changing this in the code and closing this bug ?

There is nothing to merge. Unfortunately too late for 78. This will ride the trains with 79 at this point, and should be in tomorrow's Nightly.

It returns:
Array [ "sv-SE" ]

Thanks for fixing it!

Oh, that's a long time to wait for such a trivial fix.
