808405 - input type="time" picker shows 12 hour format (AM/PM) instead of using 24 hours like operating system does

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Sebastian Hengst [:aryx] (needinfo me if it's about an intermittent or backout)]

Firefox for Android Aurora 20121104 and Nightly 20121101, Android 4.1.2 (stock), Google Nexus S

The Android's system language is set to German (Deutsch) which uses the 24 hours time formatting.

But Firefox for Android's input type="time" picker shows a 12 hour format (AM/PM) instead.

Display stuff is not DOM issues...

Mounir, is this actually a core issue, or is the embedding app showing this thing?

This is specific to native Fennec. There is also a related bug where datetime/datetime-local are always shown in 24 hour format

Jim, you might want to ask a review to Wes, Raphael is no longer interning for us and he might be busy with other stuff.
