The html file that demonstrate the problem
259 bytes, text/html
Details 
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7

The scrolling line in the URL given (and in http://www.ayalonhw.co.il/) display
the Hebrew text in the wrong direction.  Explorer shows it o.k.  I am not sure
whether the problem is with Firefox or with Explorer.  In "steps" I give a short
version of the html file that demonstrates the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create html file with the following content:

<html>
<head>
<title>title</title>
<meta charset="visual">
</head>

<body>
     <tr><td align="right">
         <a href=''><span dir=rtl>(שעה: 18:33) איילון דרום: התנועה זורמת ממחלף
גלילות עד מחלף גנות</span></a>
     </td></tr>
</body>

</html>

2. Open the file and see that the Hebrew text is in the working direction (As
the file contents are pasted here, it may not work correctly, but the problem
exist with original file.  I can send the original file if that will help.)


Actual Results:  
Hebrew text is displayed in the wrong direction.
Same contents as in "steps", but may work better then the pased text.
Please retest with firefox 1.5, beta 1:

This is the same problem as bug 305643. marking duplicate.

Actually, it's not the same as bug 305643, but rather a duplicate of bug 152184.

Surprisingly, as of now, www.ayalonhw.co.il is still using "visual encoding", and still has this problem.
Mass-assigning the new rtl keyword to RTL-related (see bug 349193).
