I have installed Mozilla builds of Firefox and Thunderbird on one of my
TDE-Debian systems. When printing/print previewing an e-mail with
Thunderbird, the time displayed in the footer is correctly in the
12-hour format with AM or PM.
in Firefox, the time is displayed in 24-hour format.
Thunderbird picks up the time from the system time, which I believe is
set to 12-hours, since the TDE clock is displaying the time with AM/PM.
But Firefox apparently isn't.
Is there in something I can check in TDE that will show if the system on
12-hour AM/PM time, or is what the clock is displaying, just that?
Thanks in advance.

Firefox gets its time format from the system locale setting, which is
deeper than the desktop. Desktops and applications can modify this, but
Firefox doesn't.

Hi dep,
Comparing to the images on the link you provided, it's missing the
'LANGUAGE' variable, but the LANG variable is for the entire system, so
it would be correct. Firefox is wrong.
epp@upstairs:~$ locale
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
epp@upstairs:~$ localectl status

fwiw, it's a known issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=811242
(sorry about top posting. the ios protonmail app allows nothing else.)

That bug report came back as a duplicate of another (more recent) which
claims to have been fixed several years ago.
