At least in French, use the comma and not the period as decimal separator.

Hello,

Firefox 5.0. Mac OS X 10.6.8. French language.

See screen photo :
http://screencast.com/t/z2k5vmtzM
The Downloads window uses the period as decimal separator. This is incorrect.

Please use the comma instead, at least in French.

The comma is the standard decimal separator. It is the only one correct in French. Only English uses the period, and this is a bad idea, because the point already means multiplication in maths.

Thanks,

Nicolas

In German locale it's correct with comma, btw.
That looks like a localization bug if it works in the german locale
I'm on german win XP, if it matters, while the bug is reported on Mac
decimal symbol is deducted from Number(5.4).toLocaleString().match(/\D/).

I think (unsure) that this is computed with os locale, not firefox locale. What is your os locale. Also, what does Number(5.4).toLocaleString() returns in javascript ?
Firefox 5.0 French. Mac OS X 10.6.8 set to French.

In Firefox, javascript:alert(Number(5.4).toLocaleString()); gives me 5.4.
I encountered the same problem in the "About Firefox" window, during these adventures : request bug 682635. When Firefox displayed the progress of the download of the update.
Firefox 6.0 Mac.
I right-click an image : Information on the image. In the size of the image, “0.47 Ko”, I get the same problem.
Firefox 25.0.1, Mac OS X Mavericks.

There is the same problem in the new (crippled) Downloads window (now named Library).

There is also the problem in the Prefs → Advanced → Network.
In Firefox 25.0.1 on Mavericks, the new Downloads bubble also has the problem.
Let's widen the scope of this bug towards all the places where it occurs in Firefox.

In Firefox 26 Mac I encounter this bug also in the bubble that comes in when adding an extension to Firefox.

That's probably not helpful because Firefox/General component has little attention. (That said, I'v no better idea what to do)
it seems that this works on win32 (comment#1) and all reports are on OS X
