Comment (by arthuredelstein):
Greg's test, mentioned above, produces the Date string not from an
nsXPCException (as the ticket title claims), but from a line in the
function log(txt) in the source file http://pseudo-flaw.net/tor/torbutton
/torbutton-common.js, that contains the expression `(new
Date()).toLocaleString()`.
In any case, I have examined the Date string produced by this test under
both US English and German versions of TBB, and also under computer locale
and language set to both US English and German. In all cases, I see the
same Date formatting:
`Date: Fri May 9 23:03:18 2014`
which corresponds to the current UTC time.
So I think this bug no longer exists, and I would suggest that it can be
closed.
