The thing that bothers me about the firefox date picker is it display the date in YYYY/DD/MM format.

While I am fairly sure this a a locale defined thing. locales are this huge pile of worms and I have never figured out how to change it to show YYYY-MM-DD format

At least the real input value is in YYYY-MM-DD. Also the date picker will show the day in it's calendar UI.
