    Well,I'm not an Arabic speaker (or reader) except for a few, so I'm really not sure. In addition to what picolo33 has recommended, you could check in the software center under "fonts" for some nice Arabic fonts and set those as the default.

    From my experience with Hebrew and Greek (I'm a Bible student), I've often observed that many fonts do not have support for non-Latin/Cyrillic characters, and pull in a set from another font that has them. I haven't looked at Arabic fonts for a while, but if I recall correctly, I think Liberation Serif had a very attractive Arabic font (coming from someone who doesn't read it).

    You might try using an Arabic sample text in a word Processor and changing fonts until you find one that you like and using that in Firefox, or searching the software center for nice Arabic fonts.
