Hi Bob, I could be wrong but from the cat ~/.bashrc you have shown here, the export command isn't there.

Yes, you are correct, I botched that ... I confused ~/.bashrc and /home.bobg/.bashrc

After correcting that it is:

[bobg@Workstation-1 ~]$ cat ~/.bashrc
# .bashrc

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
	. /etc/bashrc
fi

# User specific environment
if ! [[ "$PATH" =~ "$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:" ]]
then
    PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
export PATH

# Uncomment the following line if you don't like systemctl's auto-paging feature:
# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=

# User specific aliases and functions
export LC_TIME="C"


However after rebooting the computer Thunderbird time is still displayed in the 12 hour AM/PM format on this 
f-31 computer. 





the other one works.

Hi Bob,
    I don't use the LC_TIME="C" option. What I found with Thunderbird 72.0a1 was that in order to get Thunderbird to display times in 24 hour format, I had to go into Gnome Settings->Details->Date&Time (where I already had the time format specified as 24-hour) and turn off the Automatic Date & Time setting. Having done this Thunderbird immediately displayed times in 24-hour format. The disadvantage with doing this is I will potentially lose the automatic catering of Leap Seconds. One interesting thing with this 24-hour time setting in the Gnome preferences was that while Thunderbird was displaying its times in 12 hour format, Gnome was displaying times in 24-hour format.
    Once I got Thunderbird displaying times in 24 hour format I then installed the ConfigDate addon into Thunderbird to set some "hidden" options in Thunderbird to specify how I want the date/time for mail received today displayed, what I want for the display for mail received this week, and what I want displayed for all other mail.
    In the past when I've used the export function I've had mixed success with it in terms of sometimes it would work and sometimes it wouldn't. I'm also not sure whether that export works if Thunderbird is launched from the desktop, or whether it only works from the bash shell Thunderbird is launched from.

regards,
Steve
