Currently the Manage Bookmark dialog will display something like: History by Date Week of March 21, 1999 Monday, March 22, 1999 We need to ensure this is localizable: - The date string should be maintained internally in a canonical format (e.g. seconds from mm/dd/yyyy 00:00:00 GMT) and should format for display using the XPCom date&time APIs: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/intl/date-time-format.html - In different cultures, weeks start on different days (e.g., Sun, Mon), so we cannot assume it will always start on Sunday! - The phrase "Week of ..." must be localizable including possible word ordering differences. - Related to the 2 above points, is "Week of ..." really useful? If we need something like that, maybe we should organize by Month which is much more generic.

Seems like this is related to bug #5871.
Summary: Bookmark date format needs to be localizable → History date format needs to be localizable
This really refers to the "history by date" folders. Updating title to reflect that.
Moved to M7 because of more important bugs.

History is generally just screwed up. Re-targeting to M8: I am supposed to be re-writing history using MORK for this milestone.
Target Milestone: M8 → M9
milestone shuffle for history stuff.

Resolution: --- → FIXED
Fixed. Dates now stored as RDF date literals, which use RJC's generic (I18n locale-based) date formatting routines.
