For some unknown reason, my Firefox v55 is using commas for decimal points is spite of Ubuntu 16.04's setting of Australian English. Prior to this version, it was using the correct character. I checked about:config and changed "general.useragent.locale" to "en-AU" instead of "en-ZA" (Why it was set to that, I don't know.). Other than that, I can't find a setting that would fix it.

Try to install the Firefox en-GB version to see whether that has effect.

You can find the full version of the current Firefox release (55.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:

I'm using apt to keep it up-to-date. I'll try the official release.

The official release solved the issue.
