In my thunderbird program, version 91 64bit, on linux mint 20.3 cinnamon, the region and date/time is displaying properly, but the TBird program is taking the number for the hour from the message time and putting that number into the date as the month of the message. So, a 55-01-2022 message was received in 06-01-2022 at 23:55:12, but the date should be 06-01-2022. What am I doing wrong?

I discovered that my date display problem in TBird on linux mint was a date format problem, which I solved by changing mm-dd-yyyy to MM-dd-yy. Now TBird displays the date correctly. Now, how do I get the time to display as 12h am/pm time? I'm still looking for the answer.
