I hope it is locale-sensitive. US is the only country that uses mainly the mm/dd/yyyy. Most of the others use dd/mm/yyyy with some important exceptions (China, Japan, Korea) with yyyy/mm/dd (which happens to be the standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country


Firefox ships ~100 localizations. (See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/all/ for the list.) I'm pretty sure this will be handled appropriately :)


actually, it’s almost never dd/mm/yyy, but dd.mm.yyy, and yyyy-mm-dd. Japan is one of the few offenders, almost everywhere else the separator can be used to identify the format.


Australia also uses DD/MM/YYYY. You see ISO dates here and there but it's not as common.


I didn't mean about the separator at all, just the ordering. But good point.


Works on Firefox for Android


We are replacing the GTK icons with custom icons.

Are you manually changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to support a hidpi display?


Excellent! I'm glad to hear it.

Yeah— is there a better way I should be doing it?

(Also, as an aside, I've been a huge fan of your work with Firefox for years, so, uh, thanks for everything you've done on it).


If Firefox is acting unusually slow resetting your profile will often help: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fi...
