Thunderbird 60 ignores LC_TIME environment variable

[Stefan Pietsch <s.pietsch@e2security.de>]

Dear list,

after the upgrade from Thunderbird 52.9.1 to 60.0 (Debian sid) it seems
for me that the environment variable LC_TIME is ignored.

I used the following command to set 24h time format in Thunderbird.

$ LC_TIME=de_DE.utf8 thunderbird

With Thunderbird 60 setting the LC_TIME or LANG variables will not help.
Can someone confirm this?

Regards,
Stefan
