Steps to reproduce:
I opened a web page in Firefox to register for an event. It contained a form. All entries were blank so I entered my data in a form:
<div class="wp-block-column" style="flex-basis:50%">
<a name="register"></a>
<form id="signup" action="https://tortoisemedia.us19.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=8b80eed34e787f4f3e0b68c1f&id=##########" method="post" target="signup-response">
<h2 style="color:#fd8200">Apply now</h2>
<p>We are currently open to applications to become founding members.</p>
<p>
<label>Your name</label><input type="text" name="NAME" required="">
</p>
<p>
<label>Your email</label><input type="email" name="EMAIL" required="">
</p>
<p>
<label>Job title</label><input type="text" name="JOBTITLE" required="">
</p>
<p>
<label>Organisation</label><input type="text" name="ORGNAME" required="">
</p>
<p>
<label>Country</label><input type="text" name="COUNTRY">
</p>
<input type="text" name="b_8b80eed34e787f4f3e0b68c1f_##########" tabindex="-1" value="" style="opacity:0;height:0;width:0;">
<iframe name="signup-response" width="100%" height="30px" border="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
<p class="last">
<input type="submit" value="Send">
</p></form>
</div>
Actual results:
There was no response to clicking submit.
Expected results:
I repeated in Microsoft Edge. When I entered my data the form populated with my data that was known to the website, I add the remaining data and the submit worked.
I have # the data that would make the website reveal my name and email address in Microsoft Edge. Let me know if you need this to understand the problem. It might have failed to submit because in firefox I entered UK for country but in Edge it populated with United Kingdom. The key issue is it did not populate the data in Firefox.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Layout' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Do you have the URL to reproduce this? Otherwise it's hard to know what the page might be doing.

If I provide the URL are you able to ensure that you do not actually submit the populated form as I have already done this on Microsoft Edge and do not want a duplicate submission to be made?

If you provide it privately, then yeah (feel free to email it to me or something).

Per offline discussion this was an issue with the website accepting only some kinds of data, and Edge autocompleting the form while Firefox didn't in this case (presumably because we didn't have the relevant data available).
