I am running FF 3.6.25 on Windows 2000. My Windows locale and date format are correctly set to UK.

When I go to a site that has a date column, the date is formatted wrongly in American style (e.g. 12/30/2011). If I use Internet Explorer to reach the same sites the date is correctly formatted in British style (e.g. 30/12/2011). How can I set the display style within Firefox?

With thanks for any advice you can offer.

You can check the order of the installed Languages and make sure that en-GB is on top..

Yes, that worked. My languages list had English at the top but I had not known there was also an en-GB. I added it to the list and moved to the top.

Thank you.
