Since Firefox is (claims to be) highly standards-conformant, I would be 
inclined to think the webpages are non-standard and/or malformed. 
(Although FF isn't perfect; its Arabic rendering has a few bugs.)  The 
presence of

  <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">

in the page source is a clue.  I'm sure you can find validation tools at 
http://www.w3.org.  Personally I won't use proprietary websites if I can 
help it, and I would strongly encourage arabization.org.ma to migrate to 
open web standards ASAP.  If the pages are in fact valid I suppose we 
should file a bug report with mozilla.
