 * keywords:  tbb-fingerinting, TorBrowserTeam201612 => tbb-fingerinting,
     TorBrowserTeam201612, tbb-regression-6.0
 * severity:  Normal => Major

Comment:

 This regressed in Tor Browser 6.0. While the `To Locale Format` and `To
 Locale String` row showed the same string (e.g. "Thursday, December 15,
 2016 10:00:00") in Tor Browser < 6.0 starting with 6.0 `To Locale String`
 differs AND shows the local time: "12/15/2016, Your-Local-Time".

 Arthur can you take a look at it?
