Why Firefox crashes when I type in Arabic?
When I put the mouse cursor and type in English; there is no problem, but once I switch the language to Arabic and I type the first letter, firfox hangs and must be closed violently.
What is the solution?

That looks like crashes with the Shockwave Flash plugin.

You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
- check for updates for your graphics drive drivers

- disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Thank you for your help!
More information and further troubleshooting steps can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox crashes (closing or quitting unexpectedly) article.
This could be a problem with the font that is used for Arabic.
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
- [ ] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
I only have these:
I have tried this solution but still it crashes !
If crash reports do not have a "bp-" prefix then you can click each of them on the about:crashes page to submit them to the Mozilla crash server.
After I clicked on each ID to submit it, they are converted to other IDs which start with "b".

Please post all your crash reports using the instructions above.
I only have those.
Yes !!!! Thank you; the problem was with shockwave. I followed the steps mentioned by "cor-el" and that problem is disappeared.
By the way, Hardware-acceleration need NOT to be disabled for me because when I disabled it, typing was stopping sometimes.
