Thunderbird Lightning Time Format - Feature Request to ditch the ":00"s when no minutes are specified.
I've scoured your forums, knowledge base, addons repository, and various search engines, but there is no known solution to this problem. There are 2 or 3 addons for Thunderbird related to date and time formatting. None of them are compatible with Thunderbird anymore. There does not appear to be a solution in about:config, either. macOS offers no way to change time format to exclude ":00" from being displayed. Obviously, I'd want minutes displayed if it was specified other than "00".
The current system of showing minutes when none are specified takes up far too much room on the month view and multiweek view, which are my primary view modes. With the current time format rules, only two to three words for each event are visible. Excluding ":00" would allow for at least one more word in many cases, making the month view and multiweek view far more accessible and useful.
It would be even better to allow " AM" and " PM" to be formatted as "am" and "pm" without the space, and even better so, to allow the font size of the time to be smaller than the title of the calendar event. It also appears that it uses two spaces between the time and the event title, when due to space concerns, it should really only be one space.
These few adjustments to the event formatting in month view and multiweek view would likely be appreciated by your users. Please consider it, or tell me how to do it if the feature already exists.

The Date and Time formatting used in Thunderbird is that which is set for your computer. So it is set up in the Date time formatting settings on your computer. You would need either exit Thunderbird prior to making date/time changes or restart afterwards to see effects.
Time format: hh:mm tt - the double h means a leading 0 is added for single digits. eg: 09:30 AM h:mm tt - the single h will remove the 0 which becomes 9:30 AM h:mmtt - note I removed the space between the m and t. Result removes space prior to AM/PM. However, to gain space - Removal of tt will completely remove the AM PM Setting H:mm - use of capital H will set clock to 24hour format, so not needing the AM/PM.
