Really?
On openSUSE bugzilla, it is this one:
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1109379
open since version 60, sept 2018.
This looks like date format bug. I wanted the 12 hour clock display, not the 24 hour clock display.
This bug is about using OS locale name by default and it is fixed long ago.
The upstream bug that is really related to your openSUSE report is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1426907. And it provides detailed explanation (multiple times) what Mozilla/Thunderbird do and why users see different results than they expect [1]. And if you actually read this bug you would see that Thunderbird implemented preferences that allow you to set date/time format to arbitrary value. Of course this means "they do nothing".
[1] for the reference - Thunderbird takes locale *name* from OS settings and looks up actual formats using different database (Unicode CLDR) on all platforms. Content of Linux (glibc) locale definition is different from CLDR database. This is something to solve between CLDR and glibc.
