I was trying to copy/cut a link from my Address Bar, and I must have hit some really obscure keyboard shortcut and messed up how the address bar shows webpage URLs. Now it shows them over to the right side instead of the left. Here's a picture of what it looks like:

This absolutely bothers me and I want my URLs to be back toward the left. How do I fix this? What weird CTRL or CTRL+SHIFT command did I hit?

You can switch the bidi text direction with Shift+Ctrl+X
You may have hit that combination by accident while cutting text with Ctrl+X or slipped it otherwise.

Hmm. Well it appears closing FireFox last night and opening it again fixed the problem. I'd still like to know what weird command I hit, if anyone knows what it was.

Yeah, I was actually attempting a Ctrl+X when it happened. Thanks a lot!
