There was a problem to show Arabic letters in the text, only in the Firefox version 9 ..

The problem appears when there is formation of the Arabic letters with some letters ..

Ex : Word (ألّا) appears inappropriate .. Word appears:http://i44.tinypic.com/2agixaw.png

While the right to appear is: http://i41.tinypic.com/2dui99z.png

Thank you very much ..

It works for me on Linux if I use font-family:"Free Serif", but not with the default "Times New Roman" font and others like Arial and Verdana. 

data:text/html;charset=utf-8,<p style="font-family:Free Serif;font-size:40px" >ألّا</p>
data:text/html;charset=utf-8,<p style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:40px" >ألّا</p>

It is unacceptable to have this problem, even if it's specific to some fonts - other browsers and other versions of firefox have never malfunctioned like this before. It's extremely inconvenient for a great many number of users. please fix.

Agree with the previous comment. This is a significant problem that will affect many users. Arabic font rendering has not behaved like this in previous versions of Firefox, and the problem does not occur in Chrome or Internet Explorer.
