Title:
  Certificate date format ambiguous and should be in ISO 8601

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  The date format used in the Certificate dialog is ambiguous and
  confusing.  Another, unambiguous format should be used so that which
  part is the day and which part is the year are clear.  For example.
  08/05/2010 could be May 8th or August 5th depending on the
  interpretation.  Better to have it spelled out 05 Aug 2010 or 08 May
  2010 or even better, use the international standard ISO 8601 for the
  date:  2010-05-08
