Which one of the two is correct, in the original text or in the
citations? (I don't read Farsi.)
I think the issue here is paragraph direction, which in Emacs is
dynamically determined by default. See below.

Does the browser display it flushed to the left or to the right?
Does it help to say "M-x set-variable RET bidi-paragraph-direction RET
right-to-left RET" in Emacs? Do you see both versions of the text
correctly then?

So the Emacs display is correct, is that what you are saying? I don't
care about Firefox, but I do care about the bidirectional display in
Emacs.
