This is an issue across Firefox OS. I'm persuaded one like this has already been filed. Feel free to dupe this bug.

Comms triage: Major issue, however we don't think this is a contact issue. Gregor, why do think it belongs in this component?

We have a rule to not move a bugs into the general component. Nobody really owns this component and bugs get lost.

Hum, I wasn't aware of this tacit rule.

I checked the behavior of https://m.facebook.com/ set in Arabic under Firefox Desktop Nightly (20150331030204), I repro the same issue. I also checked with Chromium 41, it does repro.

However, the main login page is not affected (http://facebook.com), the email field displays from left to right.

As a consequence, this sounds like an issue on the Facebook side. Can we do something about it, Harald?

m.facebook markup:
<input autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" class="_56bg _55ws _5ruq" name="email" placeholder="E-post eller mobil" type="text">

CSS: nothing particular.

www.facebook markup:
<input class="inputtext" name="email" id="email" value="" tabindex="1" type="text">

CSS:
.menu_login_container #email {
    direction: ltr;
}

I guess they simply need to set that direction: ltr style on the m.facebook field too.

Removing 2.2 blocking flag since this is now tech evangelism.

Comment 8

The facebook in Contacts has been removed on v2.5 , so we change the tracking flag of master from "Affected" to "Unaffected", but keep the tracking flag of v2.2 because this issue still exists on v2.2.

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

Harald, was this issue raised with Facebook yet? Not sure if it's still there.

Comment 10

[Hallvord R. M. Steen [:hallvors]]

I checked the computed style and it seems email has direction:ltr set now - can someone re-test?

[:Harald Kirschner :digitarald]

Seems to be fixed by FB
