I speak English and Arabic languages side by side in my daily life activities in the internet. Is there any way that I can change the typing orientation to be Right to Left (while typing Arabic) using Ctrl + Shift as I do normally in Windows / Linux environments? 

I do this normally in other web browsers (IE, Chrome, and Opera).

You can use "Shift + Ctrl + X" in Firefox to switch the bidi text direction.
