Drag the bookmarklet to the bookmark toolbar (at the TOP of the browser, typically located below the menu bar & navigation toolbar). 2. Click to activate. It cues up a "floating" status bar at the bottom right of the browser. You can subsequent drag the latter to position anywhere on your screen, but it always reverts to the original spot upon activation. 3. The status bar itself has 4 toggle buttons. From left to right (after the orange "S" logo): ?/? to input pinyin/English; full/crescent moon to input as full-width/half-width fonts; punctuations to input in Chinese/European styles; & "X" to close the status bar. Quite handy if you wanna upgrade to FF 3.5.x like me, yet the Fireinput addon remains stuck in 3.0.x. I tried it out on my FF, & here are the instructions.
