<html DIR="rtl">

the RTL needs to be at the first level for the scroll bar to be on the left side

[11:47:23 AM] Eihab says: I looked up on the web. found this comment about the
placement of the scrollbar:
[11:47:26 AM] Eihab says: but I don't think that firefox supports placing the
scrollbar on the left for pages written in RTL languages (arabic, Hebrew...). 
The
difference between IE and firefox is that the former considers the scrollbars 
to be
part of the page (and so they can be styled, etc.), whereas the latter 
considers the
scrollbars as an integral part of the browser chrome - which is unrelated to the
displayed page.
[11:48:20 AM] Eihab says: So having <html dir=RTL> would work in IE but not in 
Firefox
[12:03:10 PM] Eihab says: I just found it in Firefox 3. It is a config setting 
to
switch it to be page based and not application based
[12:03:40 PM] Eihab says: about:config
[12:04:01 PM] Eihab says: layout.scrollbar.side change from 0 to 1
[12:04:35 PM] Eihab says: then when the page has the <html dir=RTL> it will 
display
the scroll bar on the left
[12:05:26 PM] Eihab says: we may have this as a tip for users who want to do so:
