Bug is really annoying
As you can see you are not going to get a answer to your question. It will be moving to page 2 and will be gone. This is not the purpose of Firefox Volunteer Support to help you figure out how to hack specific parts of it. Find your information elsewhere.

This reminds me of posts made when some other HTML5 input types were introduced natively in Firefox and workarounds through jQuery or other libraries were preempted, breaking some desired functionality. If you do not like the native implementation, you could continue scripting around it.

Created bug at bugzilla, it was a little bit hard to find proper place to submit a bug.

This bug just broke all compatibility with older versions of firefox. Besides, even font styling on input isn't working, so it's clearly bug. It's better not to answer on questions if you aren't familiar with such kind of things or just not properly checked.

In earlier versions of Firefox, the type="time" attribute was ignored and Firefox displayed the input as type="text". There was a dom.forms.datetime preference users could switch from false to true in about:config to use the current time control, but most likely neither you nor anyone else using your site was using a time control before.
I have attached comparison screenshots of
https://jsfiddle.net/vybhv3u5/1/
from Firefox 57 and Firefox 52 esr.
Font. The font face for type="time" appears locked to the user's default monospace font. It's hard to see why web authors should not be allowed to change this.
Clear Button. Neither version of Firefox recognized "::-webkit-clear-button" or any similar clear-button property. You can confirm this by searching in the source code:
Firefox 57 (current release): https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/
Firefox 52 ESR: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-esr52/source/
Should web authors be able to hide the clear button? I can't see any way to clear a time control without that button. If you hide it, I'll need something like a Clear command on the right-click context menu to replace it.
