None of the text components are aware of input methods and didn't offer any context menu to chose input methods.

So any alternatives or hacks exists, to directly type in Hindi in Firefox and Thunderbird ? Hmmm... use this, http://indicime.mozdev.org/ it gives a toolbar to select languages keyb layouts for input. this may also interest you. http://padma.mozdev.org shows many non-unicode indic websites on firefox.
