I have this problem too running Lubuntu 11.10 and Firefox 10.0.2. Happens with the Zotero plugin.
Enter the date in ISO format 2011-01-15...click out of the field and it shows 11-01-2011. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/752007 Title: javascript toLocaleDateString output format YY-MM-YYYY Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “javascript-common” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “langpack-locales” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - Lucid Lynx package: firefox : Firefox 3.6.16 Locale: Lang en_CA echo $LANG en_CA.utf8 echo $LANGUAGE en_CA:en_GB:en_IE: ... no overrides in /etc/environment A sample javascript generated calendar was displaying all of the day numbers as '11'. Some testing with a range of dates shows that the toLocaleDateString() method is showing all dates in YY-MM-YYYY format. Other date formating methods: toDateStriing, toLocaleString, toUTCString give correct results. *probably* this is a problem with the default locale settings, but I do not know how to find out what 'package' that is, or how to use an alternate path (outside firefox) to verify that. All of the other ubuntu date text that I can 'see' are correct, but [from formatting] appear to be using one of the other locale specific methods and formats To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/752007/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
