Firefox appears to change how it parses a common if non-ISO date format in Javascript.
Until version 62, it failed to parse this date format:
(new Date("02-Nov-2018")).toISOString() //==> "Invalid Date"
That was great because you could detect that and fall back to use custom date format with a library like moment
But now as of version 64 it "successfully" parses it as 2018 BCE, the end of the Agean bronze age:
(new Date("02-Nov-2018")).toISOString() //==> "-002018-11-02T04:56:02.000Z"
Stranger yet .toISOString()
and .toLocaleString()
return different date strings, and arguably at least one is incorrect:
(new Date("02-Nov-2018")).toLocaleString() //==> "11/2/2019, 12:00:00 AM"
By contrast, Chrome, Safari and IE parse it correctly.
Is there a way to get the old behavior back?
