Have you tried changing the IM to XIM? Couple of things to try:
1. first kill firefox, then: export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firefox 2. Go to settings and change input method to XIM. (not on Ubuntu right now, but it's under settings and keyboard/input method. The default is usually D-BUS or something.) Relogin and start firefox.
