743177 - "Last updated" field of about:addons uses System Regional Settings Format instead of the one defined in Firefox preferences

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 441167

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Max Grass]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
Build ID: 20120312181643

Steps to reproduce:

Set Regional Settings on one language (say French) and Firefox locale on another (German).


Actual results:

Firefox 11 is localized so everything conforms with FF prefs, but Date format. When I enter about:addons and check when the addon was "Last Updated" I see Windows Regional Settings Format (French)


Expected results:

Last Updated should show format defined in FF Preferences (current locale)

Are you talking about when searching for add-ons? (Get Add-ons)
If you are, then that content is provided directly by AMO https://services.addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/discovery/addon/quickfox-notes/?src=discovery-featured

In which case the date is provided by: <time datetime="2012-03-06T04:09:24Z">March 5, 2012</time>
I however don't think we properly support <time> yet.

ah, I see. This is because of nsIScriptableDateFormat http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/content/extensions.js#1203

And as such have I marked the wrong bug. I have DUP'd this against the correct bug now
