Is this new or used it to work before?
What do other browsers?
But first of all, you should update to Firefox 14. (Help -> About Firefox)

Its new to me after moving to windows 7 pro. had winXP in the past.

IE9 doesn't have such a problem.

Actually I'm using Waterfox and there is no update yet , but its the same on Firefox (installed on another comp).

Loic, as I wrote, when I click on the image itself its ok, but when moving to the next one it looks messed.

Was it the next picture or the first when you took the screen?

Comment 5

You're right, there is indeed a regression (but old).

If I click on the picture, the text is RTL-Hebrew.
If I go to the next or previous picture, then I go back to the picture, the text is LTR-Hebrew.

If i copy the text in both cases, and I paste, I get:
אמנם קצת באיחור, אבל בטוח שיהיה רלוונטי גם שנה הבאה
