Bug 460537

SUMMARY
On a touchscreen device, the Maliit virtual keyboard will not automatically pop up when using Firefox, like it used to on 5.25.x. Another application that uses the virtual keyboard, like Konsole, needs to be opened in order for Maliit to work properly in Firefox.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set Maliit as the virtual keyboard in the Input Devices KCM
2. Open Firefox and touch the URL area, Maliit doesn't pop up
3. Open Konsole and Maliit pops up. Afterwards, switch back to Firefox and Maliit works properly

OBSERVED RESULT
Maliit will not open properly for Firefox unless another application that uses Maliit is running. If Firefox is ran alone, the input method indicator in the panel shows an "up" arrow when Maliit is called, but the keyboard doesn't appear until another application that uses it, like Konsole, is opened.

EXPECTED RESULT
The Maliit keyboard appears every time an input area is selected in Firefox without the need for opening another application.
