Dear friend,

Thank you for your effort, but this is not work. It changes the way how the complete yahoo site is shown (by the way it is not working good), rather then change the direction of writing inside the text box (of composing the mail).

Regards,

Try Yahoo support for help with their websites.

More than likely you are typing in a Rich Text Editor box, where text direction is controlled by the rich text editing software that Yahoo put in place. You will need to find the preferences controls for that feature and to change the direction, or it might be controlled by the selected language to use on that web page.

Ctrl+Shift+X should also work in a rich text editor while this text area has focus.
If that doesn't work the Yahoo may be intercepting those shortcut keys.
In such a case you could possibly use the right-click context menu to switch the bidi direction.
The bidi.browser.ui pref needs to be true to get this entry in the right-click context menu (you need to close and restart Firefox).

Thank to both of you. From your answer I understood that my question isn't clear. The point with Hebrew is as follow: The words and the sentences were written in the right way (RTL), but the signs, like comma, point and etc., appear in the begging of sentence instead of it end.

I rise the question to the yahoo help team.

Most probable the problem is either specific to some configuration I have in my Firefox browser or in-between my browser and the yahoo mail. I tried to work with yahoo mail in other browser and it works well, so is when I run yahoo mail in IE Tab add on of Firefox.
