Easiest way is to just double click them or drag them into a slot on your toolbar.

Yup....toolbar works best.

There seems to be some sort of bug with the fireworks. The first one you click on off of your toolbar won't actually launch, it just disappears from your inventory. The subsequent ones will launch fine however.

Hello,

Launching fireworks have been spotty for me too. For the longest time I tried to launch a Fireworks Package. After about 2 dozen tries, both in and out of the toolbar, I finally decided to start firing off the individual fireworks. I found odd behaviors as well:

* there are times that clicking on a firework will show use from the total count but no effect

Sorry...got cut off with excessive clicking.

* it seems that if I don't wait before firing off another one the problem above happens

* I was finally able to launch my fireworks package after I tried to launch it AFTER I just fired off an individual one

I'll try out my last observation tonight and see if there is a method to the madness.

In my early days (still early days now really)I made tons of fireworks, I used to set them off using a display macro which I created every time I gained a new level or go to the starport and when people were complaining about the shuttle wait times and getting all angry I would cheer the arrival of the shuttle and hit my fireworks macro as the shuttle came in to land...

If you double click the firework and it disapears without actually firing one I found that it seems tohappen less if you kneel before you set off the first firework and dont get up until you fire the last one, also leaving a couple of seconds in between setting off a rockets makes it easier to see how many you set off.. This is not unlike the ranger bug where you use a set of traps and sometimes the last trap gets used but just vanishes, not sure what causes that though... Here's my firework show macro.

/pause 2;

/ui action toolbarSlot12;

/pause 2;

--- Repeat Up to the end of your bottom toolbarand fill it full of various types of firework ---

/pause 5;

/stand;

/cheer;

It's simple, anyone could write it but there ya go.. I love fireworks.

Yup, Bingo! This has been a known bug since the fireworks were in the game. I've reported it numerous times from the very start of the game but nothing has been done about it. The first firework launched will never work but the rest do fine. So, if you're wanting to make use of all of them, don't stop firing, because after a substantial delay, the next one becomes the first one again and won't launch.
