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.

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.

"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!

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.

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.

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