Not with Firefox, but with other applications such as gedit and 
gnome-terminal, there *is* a graphical way to change your input method 
temporarily to the X input method.  Right-click (if your pointing device is 
set for right-handedness :^]) in the text input field, and choose Input 
Methods and then X Input Method (or Input Methods and then System to return to 
the GNOME input method).  With the X input method, if your locale allows it, 
you will be able to enter “ (LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK) by tapping 
Compose·<·" (or Compose·"·<), but you won’t be able to enter it by tapping 
Ctrl+Shift+U·2·0·1·C·Space.  This setting will persevere for this one 
application session.
