Is it possible? I’d like my dates, time etc. to be displayed in the way I’m used to while keeping the browser in English. I’ve tried setting the LC_DATE environment variable as well, but it doesn’t respect that.
Edit: Solved!
about:config
intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales to true
d_k_bo, Tl;dr:
- go to
about:config- set
intl.regional_prefs.use_os_localestotrue- restart firefox.
anamethatisnt, And here’s an explanation of the value as well as an explanation of why it is set to false by default:
firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/intl/locale.html#…Tl;dr:
Example: It might lead to a UI case like “Today is 24 października” in an English Firefox with Polish date formats.
rikudou, 
I’m quite fine with that, but mostly I want dates on the web be in the format I’m used to. I’ll read the article, thanks!
rikudou, That did it, thank you!
Ashiette, In the firefox settings, you can change default language
rikudou, Not a solution, as I said:
while keeping the browser in English
bceuhwps, LC_TIME
rikudou, Firefox doesn’t seem to respect that, it’s set correctly to
cs_CZ.UTF-8.
Successful_Try543, In Firefox about:preferences, there should be the option to use the language preferences specified by the OS.
rikudou, Do you, by any chance, know which one?
marv99, In my FF’s
about:configthere is a setting calledintl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales, defaulted tofalse. Maybe this can be used?
rikudou, Yep, that was it, thanks!
anamethatisnt, In GNOME it’s as simple as shown in the image: Settings -> Region and Language:

rikudou, I did the equivalent in Cinnamon, but Firefox doesn’t respect that:
