User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0 Build ID: 20141127110442 Steps to reproduce: I typed in RTL characters in the addressbar of firefox, or in a website's form (tested with Hebrew and Arabic). Actual results: When I tried to delete what I typed, I had to press *twice* on backspace per character. This happens only when the typing language is set to Hebrew/Arabic; if I switch the typing language to english, deletion of RTL characters requires only one press on Backspace. This behaviour is only with the backspace key. The Delete key works fine. Expected results: Whenever I press on backspace, one character should be deleted, regardless of the language I'm typing in.
