I believe there is a missing piece though.
Firefox uses the C++ interface DateTimeFormat::FormatPRExplodedTime() to
display dates/times in the the navigation history and in certificate
details. The C++ interface currently doesn't take OS settings into
account which may lead to an inconsistent display. I filed bug 1351427
for that.
