This doesn't work properly in Firefox 2.0.0.14, see: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:MediaWikiRTLExternalLinkIcon.png

As far as I recall, this is a bug in Firefox. It may be fixed in Firefox 3.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

It does work fine in Fx3, but I can reproduce the problem in Firefox 2. Do you have any more info on what causes the bug? It seems impossible to me that Firefox 2 doesn't support right-aligned background images. (Testing in Fx2 is a pain in the neck, thanks to the requirement to micromanage profiles and only have one Fx version open at once. Sigh.)
