Date.parse doesn't work in certain browsers

[loovjo]

Date.parse does not work for certain dates in Firefox, but does in Opera and Chrome. For example, the following code produces a parse error in Firefox, but works in Chrome:

import Html exposing (text)
import Date

main = text <| toString <| Date.fromString "2018-02-24UTC"

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

I tried the code in the online Elm editor and as said in OP, it is different results in FF and Chrome:
FF: Err "Unable to parse '2018-02-24UTC' as a date. Dates must be in the ISO 8601 format."
Chrome: Ok <Sat Feb 24 2018 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (CET)>

According to the standard, FF is correct, the date in the example is not a correct date.

It is getting removed from core in the next release. It will be replaced by parsers written in Elm for various formats such that we have guaranteed reliability.
