Thank you for your help!

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 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".

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.
