Try installing ibus-gtk... assuming you are using ibus.

How about scim? THrough it way?! Have you got nay solution for it?!
BTW, thank you so much!

scim has been replaced by ibus in Fedora (and most other distributions). ibus really is better, and (I suspect just like Wayne), I haven't used it in Fedora in awhile, which is why I'm not giving you an answer to your question. Not having used scim in Fedora in awhile, I just don't know the answer.

You could try something like, assuming that scim is running

XMODIFIERS='@im=SCIM' LC_CTYPE=(whatever--for example, with Japanese ja_JP.UTF-8) firefox.

In other words, if doing Japanese

XMODIFIERS='@im=SCIM' LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 firefox

However, this is untested for me in Fedora for a long time.

Yes, it's been a while since I used Scim. iBus works great for me. Installing the ibus-gtk package in KDE makes Firefox and GTK apps work properly. Perhaps it needs to be added as a dependency to ibus when Firefox is installed.

@Wayne & smr54 : thank you so much. I switched to ibus and it works so great.

Thanks all!
