[Bug 276159] [NEW] SCIM stops working in Firefox

[robinl]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

In Firefox 3.0.3 installed from official Intrepid repos SCIM fails to
work. I can't enable SCIM by ctrl+space nor switch IME in SCIM while in
Firefox, but SCIM works everywhere else (tested on gedit, gnome-
terminal). Firefox terminal output shows errors relating to SCIM:

$ firefox
