Difficult turn to Firefox 3
Someone is trying to edit main page of Mozilla.com in real time (apparently by doing some merge and resolving conflicts as we speak)

My first bugzilla bug report
Just submitted my first ever Firefox bug report: 
bug 430140
"HTML source as simple as that:
<html>
<body style="direction: rtl;">
<img src="http://www.freeiconsweb.com/Icons/16x16_File_icons/Computer_File_001.gif"> First<br>
<img src="http://www.freeiconsweb.com/Icons/16x16_File_icons/Computer_File_001.gif"> Second<br>
</body>
</html>
(use any image you want) causes two lines to be inconsistent: in the 1-st line
image is on the right side of text (correct RTL behavior), but on the 2-nd line
it is on the left size (seems to be inconsistent with RTL requested) while line
itself is right-aligned.
Attempt to separate lines with techniques other than "<BR>" solves the problem
and restores consistent RTL behavior.
Even if I am wrong about correct behavior, there is no reason these two lines
should display inconsistently.
Note: while MSIE and Safari display this correctly, Opera mysteriously
(mis-)behaves consistently with Firefox.
