hebrew FF 3 - status line, hebrew text in reversed site name before label

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

when using the hebrew version of firefox 3 beta 5 --> looking at the status line, the label describing the current action and the site's name are displayed in reverse ordered.
(it's ok in english but it is suppose to be reversed order in rtl hebrew and it is not)

example (in english, but pretend it is in hebrew, please :-)
how it normally should be: "loading site..."+"some site.com"
how it is in hebrew: "some site.com"+"loading site..."

imagine "loading site..." is translated to hebrew which breaks
the order of the sentence in the rtl hebrew language.

Nadavkav - PLEASE don't report Firefox bugs here, as no one is intended to read them, and no one will fix it. Instead, please always report the problems in the right location. In this case it is mozilla.org.

This bug already reported <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=402240>, and hopefully will get fixed before 3.0.

Tomer he is using Ubuntu's version of firefox please dont tell him to not report bugs here this is the correct place to file the bug, We can track upstream bugs from Launchpad.
Adding upstream task.

status confirmed because there was an upstream bug reported.

John - Ubuntu way is really annony me, and this is not the expeced thing from oss software. We relly don't want software bugs to be solved in ubuntu repositories only but in the software itself. It is too bad that users will report bgs to the WRONG people and this will make the upstream software less relible.

As for me - I can't follow every user compliance all over the web, but I do my best to get most of them and to make sure it won't be ignored.

What would you if I didn't publish here the upstream bug? Ignore it, I guess.

First i never said fixed only in Ubuntu repos but it is needed that we know about the bugs in case it is a Ubuntu issue only. Users using Ubuntu packages should file bugs on Launchpad If you care not to that is up to you but dont tell Ubuntu users to only post upstream bugs, some fixes can be done in Ubuntu and we can push patch upstream if they accept it as we have always done in past. Most of the time the user cant tell if it is a Ubuntu bug or an upstream bug so we prefer they file it here and either we will look for upstream bug once we have enough info to know if its upstream or not. Tomer as you had filed the bug upstream before this bug was filed that is something you know about already, But users need to file them here so we know about them or we cant do our job. Tomer if you didnt post the upstream link here it would have been looked for anyway either by us or user or would be filed by is or user. We dont ignore any bug that we have, Please dont tell users to not file bugs here and only file them upstream.

This fix has landed in "he" lang pack.
Alexander,
Should we wait to decide what we are doing with FF3.0 lang packs before pushing this fix?

The RC1 langpacks should be in hardy-proposed by now

 affects ubuntu/firefox-3.0
 status invalid

The original translations were shiped by the gnome pack

 affects ubuntu/language-pack-gnome-he
 status invalid

However, they are now in the main language-pack for he

 affects ubuntu/language-pack-he-base
 status fixcommitted

Dont use ubuntu bug tracker then. If you find it useless, just stay
away instead of trolling here.

Thanks,
