Thanks for the report.  Can you let us know what version of Firefox you're using, what Android device/OS, and what type of keyboard?

I can confirm this in Firefox nightly 2012-09-10 v18.0a1 on a stock Galaxy SII Android 4.0.4 and a stock Galaxy Note. This is only a problem in content. Almost all other long press special glyphs print fine. The only other glyph on the keyboard I could find that was broken was the German glyph ß.

SII reports the keyboard as Samsung Keypad version 4.0.4-XWLPT

This works fine on the Galaxy SIII and Nexus S

SIII reports the keyboard as Samsung Keyboard version 1.0

Forgot to mention this is not a regression. The behavior is reproducible going back to Fx 15.

This is not reproducible on Jelly Bean.

I can take this. Should be fixed once Bug 805162 lands.
