Details
In Bug 1673971 introduced a pref to allow users opting into keep the urlbar panel open during IME composition, but ideally it should happen transparently.
Unfortunately we can't detect whether IME will open a picker, at a maximum we could have an harcoded list of keyboard layouts that allow one behavior or the other one.
We could just ignore the problem and show the IME picker on top of the urlbar panel, it is not nice and it is not usable, but also doesn't hurt and avoids the panel flashing on and off.
Safari does that, or we could try to do what Edgium/Chromium do, where the first picker is suppressed, the char is shown with an underline and you must press SPACE (twice?) to open the actual picker. From this point on the picker is on top of the urlbar panel anyway.
