The Flash plug-in version 11.2 which is the latest version does not support the Arabic language.

It shows the characters separated and oriented from left to right; whereas it has to display them as joined characters and oriented right to left.

Adobe says that they will only provide a security update and nothing else, so that clear bug will be kept for Firefox, Opera and other browsers that depend on the standalone plug-in.

Google Chrome display the language correctly because of it's own built in plug-in.

    Since Adobe won't fix it, I am afraid we'll have to live with it. Hopefully, the reliance on flash will decrease over the next couple of years. – mikewhatever Mar 21 '13 at 18:28
  • Sorry I didn't see your answer but now. You are right HTML5 is the total next solution. But also it's not working in all videos it's a clear case this problem has to be fixed for the previous videos on the web it's my personal opinion as an end user. You as a developer or maybe others could find the solution for such case that's why I unaccepted the answer maybe we can forward it as a bug or something. Tell me what to do ? – user134326 Jul 01 '13 at 00:18

Since Adobe will not update flash for Linux.

Adobe will no longer provide new releases of Flash Player for Linux after version 11.2, the company has today announced.

Google will, instead, take over the implementation of Flash Player via a new plugin API called ‘Pepper‘.1

Consider using HTML 5 instead of flash for You Tube. It doesn't have that problem. As you see in the below image, it doesn't have the problem.

    Thanks for your useful answer. HTML5 is a great solution. Hope it'll totally replace the flash player on all the websites. – user134326 Mar 21 '13 at 21:30
  • @user134326 Why did you unaccept the answer? What's wrong? – Mitch May 24 '13 at 21:23
  • Also I forgot something all Facebook videos running only in Adobe flash player :( unfortunately. – user134326 Jul 01 '13 at 00:39
  • I think that you should have included that in your question, since I answered according to what you had listed. You can try an older version on Flash. Try [fp_10.3.183.90_archive.zip](http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp_10.3.183.90_archive.zip), and for instructions on how to install see this [file](https://www.dropbox.com/s/laqfi7z7xhvw1q9/flash.txt). – Mitch Jul 01 '13 at 04:12
  • Just to mention, This a bug is related to Dynamic TextBox of Flash even Windows was suffering from it. No hope – user.dz Mar 22 '14 at 17:44

You can go to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and activate the HTML5 player, it works for me.
