weston keyboard not working with firefox

I am curious if anyone has any experience using Firefox and the Weston keyboard. When I run firefox the weston keyboard does not ever pop-up.

I can get the keyboard to show up with chromium if I pass in the --enable-wayland-ime flag when I launch chromium.

I did some digging and my trail ended with looking at WAYLAND debug logs that show weston advertising zwp_input_method_v1 and zwp_text_input_manager_v1 but firefox not binding.

[2307619.264] wl_registry@18.global(20, "zwp_input_method_v1", 1)
[2307619.295] wl_registry@18.global(21, "zwp_text_input_manager_v1", 1)

Any thoughts on how to use firefox with the Weston keyboard would be greatly appreciated.

My hardware is a TI-skam62evm with a touch screen embedded linux using kirkstone.
