This is still not resolved, from further upstream, for users running gnome-shell.
The only workaround for Firefox is still: coenraad@coenraad-dell:~$ GTK_IM_MODULE=xim firefox& [1] 28696 coenraad@coenraad-dell:~$ apt list --installed gnome-shell xorg ibus Listing...

SYSTEM INFO ================================= * Ubuntu 18.10 Cosmic with latest updates * proc/version_signature: Ubuntu 4.18.0-14.15-generic 4.18.20 * uname: Linux justin-ubuntu 4.18.0-14-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 14 09:01:02 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux * gnome-shell 3.30.1-2ubuntu1.18.10.2 * ibus 1.5.19-1ubuntu1 * Both Firefox 65 and 66 (66.0~b4+build1-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 per official PPA) STEPS TO REPRODUCE ================================= 1. Ensure keyboard input method system is 1. Download Firefox Beta channel via their official PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-next 2. Download and install the 1Password X firefox extentsion: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1password-x-password-manager/ 3. Open the extension window by either pressing the shortcut Ctrl+. or clicking the 1Password icon in the Firefox UI 4. Enter in the password in the input and press enter. Expected: The vault unlocks or displays a "this is a wrong password" Actual: The UI appears to "refresh" and nothing occurs. WORKAROUND/VALIDATION ================================= Like the original bug, switching the keyboard input method to XIM from iBus resolves the issue suggesting to me that the symptoms I am experiencing are caused by the root issue previously filed, fixed, and deployed.
