Tzafrir, AFAIK BiDi support was disabled in latest builds. For me mozilla would
not start for some days now, so i can't test it, but your post surprises me.
Are you sure it's BiDi support, and you are not looking at Visual iso-8859-8 pages?

Just go to any page that hase meta-charset defined to iso-8859-8.
It should show. After that, you will have iso-8859-8 in your menus.
If you think this is awkward, support bug# 17175 in bugzilla.

Look at bug #17175, it seems i can't convince peopla at
mozilla that this is an issue.

Yuk.. (I'd rather see mozilla render hebrew HTML correctly, than see hebrew menus in it.,
The reason is that it's
1. not important for me personally
2. not important at all compared to the importance of being able to see hebrew HTML.
3. I prefer my menus in English.
