412942 - Firefox 3b2: Numbers inside some Hebrew webpages are displayed backwards

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 308187

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Gershom Martin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9b2) Gecko/2007121014 Firefox/3.0b2

This may be a generic BIDI issue. In the above "printer-friendly" page, "15:23 18/01/2008" shows up as "8002/10/81 32:51" on my machine. The original "non-printer friendly" webpage actually displays fine

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load http://www.haaretz.co.il/hasite/objects/pages/PrintArticle.jhtml?itemNo=945675
2. Note the bizarre backwards date, time, and percentages
3. Load the same page in Safari (it will show up correctly)
Actual Results:  
Note the bizarre backwards date, time, and percentages (%8.61 instead of 16.8%).

Expected Results:  
Obvious

Using Firefox 3 beta 2 on Macbook (Mac OS X 10.4.9)

The problem is with the Haaretz website, not with Firefox. See bug 308187 for details.
