Make a note folks. Yep, info is here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-date-time-formats-thunderbird Besides this it shouldn'd have to do with userChrome.css. If ever it *could* be a setting in the userContent.css, because it is content - not chrome. (And mark the correct upper and lower case spelling of these files.) Whatever.. if you want to pin this down you can add it to your user.js file: user_pref("intl.date_time.pattern_override.time_short", "h:mm a");
