Does not accept seconds in timestamp

[Grossdm]

I've noticed that when editing a cookie, the addon doesn't accept a timestamp that includes seconds which are in the native format.

It's a small annoyance. I assume that the browser just sets the timestamp to :00 seconds.

I tried to have consistent behavior across platforms, and the date picker on Firefox mobile did not have a seconds field.

On desktop, Firefox does not natively support a date picker, and I show a simple set of input fields as a fall back. I will add another input field to allow seconds to be set, on desktop Firefox.

I don't know if this would help, but I think I ran across a preference in about:config that might have turned on/off date/time selectors for input fields. There were several prefs for input fields, IIRC.

Firefox desktop does not support datetime-local inputs yet: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=888320

(Since Firefox 57, separate date / time inputs are supported though)

As said before, Firefox for Android does support a native date picker. Perhaps I can detect that the seconds is 0 and separately prompt for the desired number seconds.

You are clearly on top of the developments in Firefoxs' APIs.

I'll withhold further coding "suggestions" unless I'm quite confident of the information.

Until you made your comment I did not know about the date/time inputs on desktop. I only found it after looking up bugs (BMO) and documentation (MDN).

If you think that you might have a useful suggestion, don't hesitate posting new issues or comments. The worst that can happen is that we deepen our knowledge.

Thanks for your original report and follow-up comments. They were useful!

[Grossdm]

You are welcome!

Update: I just started noticing on my phone that when I tap a time field, I get two "inputs" for the date and time!

One is what I'm familiar seeing, and it looks like a native Firefox input.

Just underneath that, there is a new input. It looks more like it is part of the addon.

@Grossdm I haven't changed anything in my add-on. I think that you're mistaking the new year input in Firefox 62 for a separate field.

Before Firefox 62, it was difficult to change the year via the input (requiring the user to flip through all months, manually... this was a pain). As of Firefox 62, there is a separate input field to set the year: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1318046

I am working on a patch for Firefox to support seconds in the timepicker on Android: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1498787

If the patches are approved soon, then it will be in Firefox 64. Otherwise it will be in Firefox 65.
