In Windows, I could use Ctrl+Shift to align text in textboxes. To align left, I used the left Ctrl and the left Shift and the right ones to align to the right.
Is there a way to do this in OSX?

You can use the ⌥ key, but you have to select the option to use it as the "meta" key:
Once you do that, ⌥+F and ⌥+B will work as you expect.
If Firefox doesn't support this, you can use Plain Clip as a workaround.

⌃⌥⌘→ (control-option-command-right) makes the selection left to right
⌃⌥⌘← (control-option-command-left) makes the selection right to left

⌃⌘← (control-command-left) makes the paragraph right to left
