Is there any clue for you in this article:

Search on the string "Bi-directional languages" where there is a potential explanation. What you do about it is another matter.

I imaghine IE8 will behave in the same way. I don't know what would happen if you changed your language settings after ensuring you've downloaded the multi-libngual pack.

Also what happens in WORD?

Have you got the correct Character Encoding set?

Arabic (ISO-8859-6)
Arabic (Windows-1256)

I'm by no means an expert on this - but no one else has found a way of helping you either.

And is Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) of any use instead?

do you have the plugin for firefox installed ,if so it maybe a problem with it .
this link has info about the plugin ,and a link to a site to type in english and comes out in Aribic and copy and paste the aribic to where you want it .
