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!

  1. go to about:config
  2. set intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales to true
  3. restart firefox.

  2. set intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales to true
  3. restart firefox.
