On other browsers if you are using HTML5 there is tag called INPUT. so when we create TYPE as DATE on other browsers it is displaying calendar but on firefox it is showing as textbox. Below is the attachment where Chrome is supporting.

It should be enabled by default on the latest Firefox - Firefox 57 - see here:

https://developer.mozilla.org/Firefox/Releases/57#HTML

The example on https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date works fine for me.

If there's a specific site that isn't working, we could take a look if you can give us a link.

You're correct that Firefox doesn't currently have a special UI for datetime inputs. You can subscribe to the bug here if you would like to follow progress: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283388.

Is your code up to the W3C.org standards and practices. If it is it will run on any browser. So please Validate your code.

Just an additional note, "time" works on its own, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/time but as user1929 said, "datetime-local" doesn't yet work - see the devmo page and the bug.
