You can try to set the pref gfx.font_rendering.harfbuzz.level from the default 2 to 1 to see if that helps.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Hi im staying in UAE, why doesnt my interactive notification work with other apps like facebook?

why doesnt my interactive notification work with other apps like facebook?
its only working with the message app notifications.

Sounds like the iPhone is carrier locked with Vodafone and if so, it can't be used with another carrier's SIM card.
If so, only Vodafone can officially unlock the iPhone or send the unlock request to Apple.

Why cant i add my own sound to apps like facebook e mail and twitter

why cant i add my own sounds to apps like facebook e mail twitter

"add my own sounds to" - do you mean notification sounds?? If so, they are set by the App developer and can't be changed (other than disable).
"Why" - this is a user-to-user support forum. No one here can answer "why" Apple does or doesn't do anything.

Arabic text displayed incorrectly on sites!

Arabic text characters are all connected one to another in a word, but FireFox displays the letters right, except they are disconnected and each letter is on its own, making it very difficult if not impossible to read.
What I used to do in the past is, pages that contain Arabic Text for me such as Facebook, I used to install IETAB2 and set facebook to always open with IETAB and then the text would display correctly.
The strange thing is, if you use IE, it would display the same garbage isolated Arabic letters, but the IETAB with IE7 emulation works like a charm.
With that said, recently, FF stopped displaying arabic text correctly even with IETAB2
But Google Chrome always works like a charm without the need for anything.
I have tried changing the encoding on the site but that doesn't help
Can anyone suggest anything please?
Google Chrome, Correct display of Arabic Text:

FireFox with IETAB or without, same result:

Anything other than UTF-8 will just display as jibberish.
But the problem with UTF-8 is that the Arabic letters are not linked one to the other, each one is seperated, makeing it very difficult to read.
What's even weirder is, I checked with Chrome, which displays Arabic Text just fine, and it is also using the UTF-8 encoding but it works!? Please help as I don't want to use Chrome :(

The point is to see if disabling that setting temporarily and selecting some other fonts makes a difference. 
It is possible that the Lucida Grande font that you have isn't working properly.

Why is the 9860 not shown on UK site? am I buying a dud?

The daughter wants to upgrade from her 9300. Shes decided she wants a tocuh phone back, so looked at options. 9380 (too small screen), 9810 (maybe, but bulky), and the 9860.
However I'm in UK and the 9860 isnt even listed on the smartphone list of phones. Am I buying a dud here? is it not supported anymore? why is it not shown, was it that bad?
I will have to buy this SIM free or PAYG, as shes mid contract.

cheers

Not sure why its not listed, but you can purchase SIM free from Play.com at least

Why can I only get on firefox web sites and Facebook?

I have run virus scans and have checked for updates for firefox, when ever I attempt to access these updates my firefox browser shuts down and I have to open it again. There are no viruses or malware on my computer and everything but firefox is updated! Why can I not access anything but the firefox help page and my Facebook?

Every time I ask for a website google comes up. Why can't I go straight to the site like I could before?

Before FF4 I just typed in a website name (like imdb) and went instantly to that site. Now I get a google search page--totally unnecessary. Google is unavoidable for information at times, but I use it only when I have to. I resent being forced to use it when all I want is (e.g.) my bank account. There used to be a "none" in the browser bar, but it seems to be gone now. I know you've got this whole keyword thing now and I can set it up so google is in the background, but before I went straight to any website without setting up anything and it was much easier, and no google. If this google alliance is the new FF, I want none of it--I'll go elsewhere.

Check the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page.
You can modify the pref keyword.URL on the about:config page to use Google's "I'm Feeling Lucky" or Google's "Browse By Name".
* Google "I'm Feeling Lucky": http://www.google.com/search?btnI=I%27m+Feeling+Lucky&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=
* Google "Browse by Name": http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Arabic Text in Crystal Report

I am having issues in displaying Arabic in crystal report. I am pretty sure that the data stored in Oracle (10g) is okay because when I query the same data using SQL Developer or TOAD, it is fetching and displaying Arabic contents as well. However, when the same query is used in the Crystal report, it is converting Arabic text into some weird Characters like ãÎÊáÝ etc. However, when I type Arabic in Crystal report, it is fine. The only issue is when I retrieve Arabic data from the database in Crystal report and try to show it, it converts it into some weird characters.
I am using Crystal Report 2008 version 12.0.0.x and I used the font of the field to be "Arial Unicode" but still of no use. I even tried changing the font setting from "right to left"; still no use. I have also tried using various fonts like 'Arabic Typesetting", "Arial Unicode", "Arial Narrow" etc but problem is still there.
Any suggestions?

Sorry Fahran - not sure I understand. Are you saying that all connections cause the same issue in CR 2011 with SP 9?
SP 9 can be downloaded here:

Arabic text with accents shown broken

Hello,
In FireFox 4, Arabic text with accents (ًٌٍَُِّْ) is shown broken. It was displayed correctly in previous versions and also in IE.
Consider please the following examples, and compare between the words with and without accents. You can see the gaps between the letters:
دعم فَيَرفُكس
مُتَصَفِّحُ فَيَرفُكس هُو مُتَصفح الانترنت الأفضل فى العالم
The problem is not site specific. It is common to all sites with Arabic texts. I'll just provide an example URL. Compare the display of FF4 with previous versions or with IE.
Thank you.. You are the best !! :)

BTW, disabling/enabling the option "allow web pages to use their own fonts" had no effect. The broken text problem is the same in either case.

(Enter the text shown) why this showing in firefox persona sign in, there is no text???

Text is broken when scanning UP the page; but good scanning down the page; why?

Text is broken when scanning UP the page; but okay scanning down the page. The text looks like a shot gun has been fired through it. It used to be good both ways until the last update. This is not a problem in any other program including Internet Explorer. I have an image to show you but there is no link here to attach.
After clicking Allow I got ..........The add-on could not be downloaded because of a fault at the support site.

Try to create a new Boolean pref on the about:config page via the right-click context menu with the name layout.paint_rects_separately and set the value to true and leave hardware acceleration enabled.
See comment 414 in bug 812695:
*https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=812695#c414
If that didn't help then try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).

Arabic Text in TextInput in Flash Builder 4.5.1

Hello,
I am currently developing a mobile application that is supposed to work on both Android and iOS devices. I am supposed to display arabic text and also to take arabic text input from the user. While I was trying to display simple output and input components I faced a problem with the TextInput. Please note the following:
-The TextInput component displays the arabic text in reversed order and the characters are disjoint.
-The label component does not have this problem and it accepts and displays the arabic text correctly.
-An embedded font was added
-The problem exists on both IPad and Galaxy Tab however the IPad displays the text correctly while typing (before loosing the focus on the TextInput). On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab displays the text in a wrong way both while typing and on focus out. However, the suggested words (above the keyboard in the Galaxy tab) are shown correctly.
Please check the snapshots below.
From Ipad:
Thank you.

Here's the solution:
The problem did not exist on an installation of Flash Builder on a spare MacBookPro.
On my main computer (the one with the Flash Builder issue) I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Builder 4.5 (then updated to 4.5.1). Creating an iOS Mobile Application now creates the correct code.
I have no idea why it was creating dodgy code.
The only difference with the new Flash Builder install is that SourceMate 3.0 is not installed yet. Perhaps something had gone wrong in the Adobe Updater when going from 4.5 to 4.5.1, who know...all speculation...anyhow it works now!

Editing Arabic text in iWeb

I've entered some Arabic text into iWeb and don't seem to be edit it. Need I say more? It's behaving like a solid block (image perhaps?).
This is the markup: المكتبة العربية الإسلامية 
And, yes, there are spaces before and after, which I can't get rid of either. Incidentally, or perhaps not, for some reason most of my paragraph styles are "4" but this is "6". It's supposed to be the same as the others, not sure why it's different nor how to change it.

the letters "magically" started joining each other.
Non-joining Arabic letters normally means you are trying to use a Windows Arabic font. Instead use one of those that comes with OS X, like Geeza Pro. It's a completely different problem than the OP's editing difficulty.
I am curious how easy you find it to edit your Arabic text. In the past iWeb had such serious bugs regarding cursor action and formatting issues that it was normally advised that people use a different app.
