How to Align Text With the Right Key in Firefox

You can configure Firefox for right-aligned text entry.

The Mozilla Firefox Web browser (and the underlying Microsoft Windows operating system) has native support for all major languages spoken world-wide. Some of those languages (e.g., Hebrew) are written right-to-left. For those languages, you need to operate Firefox on a mode that right-aligns text within entry fields. You can configure Firefox to enable you to switch between left- and right-aligned text by pressing a specific key combination.

Instructions

1. Launch Firefox by double-clicking on its desktop icon.

2. Type "about:config" in the address bar, and press "Enter." Click on "I'll be careful, I promise!." Type "bidi" into the "Filter" field, then right-click on the "bidi.browser.ui" line, and select "Toggle."

3. Click inside the Firefox text field where you want text to be right-aligned, then press "Control-Shift-X." The text you type after that will be right-aligned. You can revert to the default left-aligned text by pressing "Control-Shift-X" again.
