[Solved] Change date format without changing language on Linux? (lemmings.world)

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.

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!
