Auto Disable IME Ver.1.0.2016020502 for Mozilla Firefox

What's this? ...abstract

This makes IME (IM, Input Method) disabled automatically when you focus to the location bar. This will free you from stresses of unexpected handling by IME(IM) when you wish to do direct input.

Sorry, this works only with Firefox 3.6 on Windows or Mac OS X. Firefox 3 on Linux is not supported because of "ime-mode" specification.
