Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.aligning the interface to the right: add these lines to the file intl.css, in the locale\en-US\global, in the en-US.jar file (the language pack file, in the chrome folder): /*make UI RTL */ window,dialog,wizard,page { direction: rtl; } menu { direction: rtl; } outliner { direction: rtl; } /*or whatever. i was told some of these are obsolete. */ /* * make sure search from address bar remains in RTL */ #urlbar .autocomplete-search-engine { direction: rtl !important; } /* * keep Composer <HTML> Source tab LTR */ #content-source, #doctype-text { direction: ltr; } 2.start mozilla. 3. go to the dialog in the description Actual Results: fields are all RTL Expected Results: some of the fields should be LTR even with RTL language pack. smontagu fixed a bunch of these in bug 157607, by adding the class "uri-element" at the proper places.
