[Solved] Change date format without changing language on Linux?

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!

go to about:config
set intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales to true
restart firefox.

LC_TIME
- Firefox doesn't seem to respect that, it's set correctly to cs_CZ.UTF-8.
  
  In Firefox about:preferences, there should be the option to use the language preferences specified by the OS.
  
  Do you, by any chance, know which one?
  
  In my FF's about:config there is a setting called intl.regional_prefs.use_os_locales, defaulted to false. Maybe this can be used?
  
  Yep, that was it, thanks!
