when the interface is aligned to the right, e.g. when using a RTL
language (like hebrew or arabic), in Edit > preferences > navigator > helper
applications, select a mime type and press the Edit button. at least the MIMe
type and the extention fields should be LTR, and i think the "open using:" field
should also be LTR. even if the folders on disk have RTL names, the general
direction is usually LTR.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.aligning the interface to the right: add these lines to the file intl.css, in
the locale\en-US\global, in the en-US.jar file (the language pack file, in the
chrome folder):

/*make UI RTL */

window,dialog,wizard,page { direction: rtl; }

menu { direction: rtl; }

outliner { direction: rtl; }
/*or whatever. i was told some of these are obsolete. */

/*
 * make sure search from address bar remains in RTL
 */

#urlbar .autocomplete-search-engine
{
direction: rtl !important;
}

/*
 * keep Composer <HTML> Source tab LTR
 */

#content-source,
#doctype-text { direction: ltr; }


2.start mozilla.
3. go to the dialog in the description

Actual Results:  
fields are all RTL

Expected Results:  
some of the fields should be LTR even with RTL language pack.

smontagu fixed a bunch of these in bug 157607, by adding the class "uri-element"
at the proper places.

tsahi: isn't it about time that you will contact the proper people to get
bugzilla privlages, so your bugs won't need to be confirmed?
