a screenshot with the problem

In LTR wikis the username is left-aligned and appears next to the user icon.

Based on this logic, in RTL wikis the username should be right-aligned. This is what happens in Chrome, but in Firefox it's left-aligned, and away from the user icon.

I suspect that this is a Firefox bug, but it needs further investigation.

See the screenshot; Firefox is on the top.

I am inviting some non-MediaWiki people to test this, so here are more detailed instructions to reproduce:

1. Log in to the Hebrew Wikipedia.
2. Click the Beta link in the top bar near the username (or go to https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-betafeatures ).
3. Check "סרגל אישי מוקטן".
4. Scroll down and save the preferences.
5. Examine the little box with the username in the top left corner.
Comment 2 Amir E. Aharoni 2014-05-19 12:10:58 UTC
I didn't investigate this too deeply myself, but a standards expert told me that the likely cause is the following Firefox bug:

I'm going to add a CSS workaround.
