What have you tried?

Using a new Window User!
Using a new Profile of my browser!
Using fresh copy of the browser!

Hello,
I have a problem in my PC.
My PC Language is Arabic and English.
As you know after you click in any Tab to write some thing, you will see pulsatory Line as the picture.

The line has a head, in normal PC, this head will directed to left= so you will write Arabic, and when the head directed to right= so you will write English.

My problem the head of the line directed to Right, but when i write it is Arabic!
This is caused many problems to me!
Note: The problem don't found in: Office Word, Notebad, or Internet Explorer.
The problem found in Firefox and other browsers!


Can you help me!
I will send you Any logs you need!

As per TwinHeadedEagle my PC seems clean!

There are two things that I can think of.

One - are you using the Arabic version of Firefox and other browsers?

Two - is your system locale in Arabic or English? This can affect language display, etc

Mine is set in Japanese locale so I can play Japanese games (and have the language displayed on my system without breaking it).

If this doesn't help, I unfortunately don't know what else to say. There are other settings in tabs above in the screenshot such as "Keyboards and Languages". Maybe one of those could help to.

Hello,
My Widows is Arabic Version.
My firefox is English Version.
My system locale is in Arabic.

 

[OokamiCreed]

Wonder if you need the Arabic version for Firefox to write in Arabic.

 

[mansor2016]

I will try the Arabic version for Firefox.

That is good help @OokamiCreed ...

 

[mansor2016]

The problem is still after i used the Arabic version for Firefox!

 

[OokamiCreed]

I believe I found the answer. In Firefox at least. While holding down the Ctrl + Shift key, press X on the keyboard. It should reverse. As for permanent, if you go into "about:config" without quotations (type that in the URL/address bar), ignore the warning, type in the search "bidi" without quotations, you want to change "bidi.direction" to 2 instead of 1. Close and reopen the browser and things are reversed (everything - including the direction of typing). I'm not sure if that is how it's supposed to be or not.

My problem is still after i changed the 1 to 2!

"The While holding down the Ctrl + Shift key, press X on the keyboard" is good solution, but i should use the same in all times i want to type!

 

[OokamiCreed]

Maybe this add on can help: Force RTL

It does what Ctrl + Shift and press X does however keeps it working. Let me know how that works out. I'll keep trying to find a solution a little while longer. Seems this issue happens with a lot of Arabic/Hebrew language users.

 

[mansor2016]

Yes, after i used Ctrl + Shift and press X and type some thing, it is OK, but after i refresh the page, the problem returns, so i should use Ctrl + Shift and press X again.

 

[mansor2016]

OK, waiting for your help!
What is the name of the line which appears in the picture:?

 

[OokamiCreed]

Did you try the extension/add on that I linked to above? It supposed to force it to say right to left without the need to do it manually via keyboard.

Edit: I'm not sure what that line is.

 

[mansor2016]

I just see it, i may try it!

Have you check the configuration from Keyboard and Language on Control Panel? Probably something mess a little on the tweak.

 

[mansor2016]

I just checked Keyboard and Language on Control Pane, there are no problem, but: how i reset these to normal?

 

[jamescv7]

@mansor2016: Steps to reset keyboard setting

Open Control Panel > Language. Select your default language. If you have multiple languages enabled, move another language to the top of the list, to make it the primary language – and then again move your existing preferred language back to the top of the list. This will reset the keyboard.
