Google Chrome vs. Firebox or good old Internet Explorer?

[Uri Even-Chen]

I also have a problem with Bank Hapoalim on Firefox.  The numbers are
switched, instead of "(1) דואר נכנס" I get "דואר נכנס )1(" (the number
is on the right) and instead of "(25) סל מיחזור" I get "רוזחימ לס
)52(" - I get 52 instead of 25.
