Last night I tried using the Fireworks scene mode on my Panasonic FZ30 at a small fireworks display and then switched to manually exposing for 1 to 1.3 seconds. I liked the manual results MUCH better than the scene results. The instructions for the Fireworks Scene mode said to shoot when the firework had spread fully, which tried to do. But most of these were blurry and unimpressive. The manual shots worked where I basically followed your instructions, zoomed to 80mm, low ISO, decent tripod. Your instructions work nicely!
