+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1429578 +++
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Build ID: 20170802111520
Steps to reproduce:
-
Unset environment variable LC_ALL.
-
Set environment variable LC_TIME to "en_DK.iso88591".
-
Visit a web page.
-
Enter Control-P to open the print dialog.
-
Select the Options tab.
-
Inspect the Header and Footer section to verify that Date/Time appears, e.g., as one of the footer elements.
-
Click on the print button.
Actual results:
Footer of printed output has a date in a format different from that specified by locale en_DK.iso88591. E.g., 1/10/18 .
Expected results:
Printed output has a date in the format specified by locale en_DK.iso88591. E.g. 2018-01-10 .
This was working as expected in version 52.

My original bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1429578 was closed, referencing 1246907. I could not ascertain how to reopen.
Using Firefox Version 82.0.3, Build ID 20201108180448
I tried inserting the date/time patterns listed at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1426907#c183
into prefs.js
and those strings appear in the list in about:config.
However, the date format has not changed. Is there something else I need to do?

The feature has been added in 84. Please test against nightly and reopen if it doesn't work.
