Answer 1

See the documentation for the Date constructor:

A string value representing a date, specified in a format recognized by the Date.parse() method. (These formats are IETF-compliant RFC 2822 timestamps, and also strings in a version of ISO8601.)

Since you aren't passing one of those formats, you are dependent on implementations having non-standard support for your format.

Chrome does. Firefox doesn't.

Use a date parsing library that lets you specify the format (such as date-fns/parse) or change the API so it outputs dates in the standard format.
