This looks fixed in latest nightly. I tested using the Japanese IME on Mac and Windows 10.

The fix was part of this commit (bug 1521757 which was included in bug 1522379):

I have verified that this issue is no longer reproducible using Firefox Nightly 66.0a1 (Build ID: 20190124214415) and the latest Firefox Release 121.0 (Build ID: 20231211174248) installed on Windows 10 x64. I can confirm that IME is successfully turned on and the Japanese character appears in the "Address Bar".

P.S. Sorry for the noise!
