Yes, BiDi support is available in the latest Nightly, along with
numerous other enhancements which didn't make it into 0.9 (a new cooler
version of Modern theme, IE-like offer to "search for" in the
autocomplete popup etc.)
Unfortunately, BiDi support is horribly buggy and kept crashing on
trivial sites, unlike Konqueror. Crashes were especially common on
Hebrew sites. We can all try and elevate those issues for main
attention by downloading a Talkback-enabled version and sending every
crash event we experience. Redundant is not bad here -- it actually
just increases the importance of the same bug!
As to KHTML (used by Konq), it's much more forgiving than Mozilla.
Heck, it implements a 'document.all' object (for IE compatibility)!
