Firefox uses native IMEs. Most of the time they aren't broken in obvious ways. To the extent they are broken in non-obvious ways, it's unhelpful not to say how on the level that would allow the problem to be reproduced.
Firefox can't just use native text edit controls. First, Firefox needs to support contenteditable, which doesn't map to an OS-supplied text box. Second, the multiprocess architecture leads to a situation where the UI process talks to the native IME API but the Web content process hosts the text being edited, so native text boxes don't work even for things that look similar to OS-supplied text boxes.
