Steps to reproduce:

Hi, sometimes my Firefox shows auto completion of search-bar in RTL. I can not reproduce that always (or preform a testcase for it) but this serious because I saw this behavior also in other computer (but unfortunately, just sometimes!). I attached what I see sometimes in Firefox.
Bug 649840 have relation to this bug, specially this comment https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649840#c9 I think.

Thanks!
Hmm, your search button looks weird (it has text on it, and no icon.  Can you try to reproduce this bug in safe mode? <http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode>

Because I am using nightly-ux instead of standard version of Firefox, but I saw this problem on other systems outside of my home! :) (of-course, with standard version of Firefox)
Sorry, I have not more information about this because it is not enough reproducible and I don't know why sometimes I see that! :)
Anas, is this something that you would like to work on?
Sure. I'll try if I can reproduce it first.
The bug is available till now but I don't how to reproduce it always.
I quite often experience this bug as well on stock Firefox on Ubuntu. This has been happening for a while, possibly since Firefox 4. I have not been able to figure out the steps to reproduce it, but my initial guess is that these could be contributing factors:
(1) conducting a search in an RTL language – I routinely search in Hebrew,
(2) and/or having one of the BiDi preferences different from the default – I have bidi.browser.ui, bidi.edit.caret_movement_style (set to 0), and bidi.edit.delete_immediately all modified.

ebraminio, do you have any of those factors?
Hi,
1) Yes
2) bidi.browser.ui and bidi.edit.delete_immediately
but I am not sure about second, where I saw that on my friend Firefox that I don't think he modified that preferences.
Thanks
You may won't believe but I saw two or three day ago on recent Firefox on ArchLinux without any configuration (I don't use Firefox as my default browser so I didn't change any Firefox setting)
Attached image Bug686406OnFF21KDE — 
Proof! I saw it first time on Awesome WM so it is not related to KDE. I don't even use Firefox synching or any manual modification on about:config. Only way I think it could be reproduced is surfing RTL pages like Persian wikipedia or umm, I don't know :)
I even see it in another two PC today.
With help from Ebrahim I managed to reproduce it consistently.

1. Use Firefox with LTR user interface, for example English.

2. Use this data URL:
data:text/html, <html dir="rtl"><body><form><input type="text" name="text1" value="" autocomplete="on"/></form></body></html>

3. Write "asdf" in the input box.

4. Press Enter.

5. Click the input box twice to see the auto-completion of "asdf".

6. Write "asdf" in the search bar.

What I see: the auto-suggestions are on the right side.

What I expect: the auto-suggestions are supposed to be on the left side.

This is still available even on latest UX version.
Good news, this no longer exists somehow; probably due some rewrite done on search bar autocomplete popup.
