It's currently based on the selection of pref called "general.useragent.locale" negotiated against resources available in ChromeRegistry. This will be slowly morphing into a list of fallback locales selected by the user in Preferences. > However, if based on (I guess) downloaded version: > > Does that mean that Firefox will now ignore *my* preferred OS-wide settings? > (e.g.: 24h clock, YYYY-MM-DD dates.) No, that precisely means the opposite. The new API does look into your OS-wide regional preferences and alters the date/time patterns to respect them. We're in the process of migrating current calls to use the new API - see the three dependencies in bug 1354339 which all have patches in review.
