About this extension

If you type in Arabic, Hebrew, or Persian on Firefox, you probably know this incredibly annoying bug: You try to type a sentence in a search box like Google, you hit the spacebar, and your cursor jumps to the wrong side. When you type your next letter, it gets glued backwards to your first word!

Chrome fixes this automatically, but Firefox gets confused on English websites.

This simple extension fixes that bug forever.

What it does:

Fixes the Spacebar: Instantly forces Google Search and other websites to write Right-to-Left correctly, so your words actually separate when you hit space.
Zero Lag: Unlike other extensions that take a second to "wake up" when you click a search box, this one fixes the text box instantly before you even click it.
Smart Warning: If you accidentally type an English password while your keyboard is still stuck in Arabic, the hidden password dots will type backward! This instantly warns you that you are in the wrong language before you hit submit.
Just install it once, forget it exists, and enjoy typing normally again!

Developer comments

Unlike standard extensions that use heavy JavaScript background scripts to watch for input, this extension utilizes a pure CSS rendering injection (unicode-bidi: plaintext). By isolating input elements that do not have an explicit dir attribute, it natively forces the Firefox Gecko engine to utilize the UBA (Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm) to auto-detect text direction with zero lag or CPU overhead.
