Recently I added this Persian calendar add-one to my Firefox and nothing was wrong with it, except that in Persian websites the font of numbers are messed up. Now its font is part English, part Persian and very annoying ! (before that it was always English numbers no matter what the page language was)

I removed the add-one, but the problem still exist.

Everything else is OK, just the numbers are messed up, here is a picture about what its look like now, the Persian part highlighted : http://s2.kimag.es/view/67014904.jpg

You can try different values for the pref bidi.numeral to see what works for you.
If the extension changed to pref (bold, user set) then reset the pref to the default value via the right-click context menu. 

bidi.numeral (0) 0:Nominal numerals 1:Regular context 2:Hindi context 3:Arabic 4:Hindi 5:Persian 6:Persian context

Thanks a lot !

I changed Bidi.numeral value to default and that just fixed it.

Thanks, again :D
