I don't think this will ever be fixed in Firefox 2. So it is just really a question of whether we will update RHEL4 firefox to Firefox 3 or not.
Tested this with firefox-3.0-0.beta5.1.el5 today in RHEL5U2. Found this is resolved. Current behaviour in Firefox is like this composed character can be deleted in single "delete" keypress composed character can be modified in multiple "backspace" keypress or deleted in multiple "delete" keypress. This is exactly same behaviour as tested using gedit(gtk application) But still no fix for firefox 2.0 in RHEL4
I guess this will get fixed by firefox3 in RHEL 4.7.
As firefox-3.0.1-1.el4 is already part of 4.7 distribution and it has fixed issue reported here, Closing this bug.
