Does this still happen if you change the week start from the normal UI? Settings -> Calendar -> "Start the week on" at the top.

Comment 2

[keldy.c]

Yes it does.
This is how I noticed that changing it in the normal UI did not stick.
So I investigated how to change it in advanced preferences hoping that might make it stick.

This is weird but I just checked my calendar and, for the first time in months, the start of the week stayed set to Sunday!

Comment 4

Sorry! It has gone back to Monday again. My previous response was too soon (TM)

https://searchfox.org/comm-central/source/calendar/base/content/calendar-chrome-startup.js#253 Lasana mentioned this code briefly, that might be changing it.

What locale is this on?

Comment 6

[keldy.c]

Locale is Australia/Adelaide
I had a quick look at the code function setlocaledefaultpreferences but my coding skills are too rusty to make much sense of it

Hmm strange, I don't think we have an English(Australian), I assume you're using en-GB or en-US version?

Important question: Can you reproduce this on a blank profile? Should be pretty easy to check, you can make one by going into Help -> More Troubleshooting information -> "about:profiles" near the bottom of the table of Application Basics.

I created a new blank profile
Set Start of week to Sunday
Restarted my computer
Start of week was back to Monday

I found the useragent thingy (in case that is useful to you) Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/102.5.0

(I use pop not imap so I had a few thousand emails to download with a new profile. :-) ).

My regional preference is ["en-AU"] and my system locales are ["en-GB","en-AU"]
