I use a en-US Daily. In the settings I can set underDate and Time Formatting if I want the Application locale or the Regional settings locale. TB follows on all elements this setting. Only Calendar stays on the en-US date with AM/PM.

TB 91 seems to work correctly. Alice, can you find a regression range here? Just use TB on a non-en-US system and check how the dates are displayed. In the calendar I see "AM/PM" being used which is not the case elsewhere in the UI.

Overall the fix for bug 1752130 appears to be wrong and should just be backed out. Dates/Times are formatted according to the Application Locale or Regional Settings Locale depending on which setting is chosen. Strings in the UI are taken from the application Locale. So if the user uses an English version of TB and regional settings for French, then unavoidably there will be "Day" together with "février" ("February"). Apparently the wording in the date picker/matrix follows the application locale showing "February".

The idea behind the design was that people can use an en-US version of the application and at the same time enjoy their local date/time formatting, for example according to en-AU or en-GB rules.

Not a straight backout since bug 1749011 got in the way on calDateTimeFormatter.jsm. BTW, bug 1749011 should be closed, otherwise it will wait for bug 1749459 (P3/S3) for a long time.

Flags: needinfo?(geoff)

Okay, yeah, this is dumb but it doesn't need several people repeating the same information.

Essentially a backout of https://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/rev/28f648f37dd1 which I never should've wasted my time on in the first place.
