User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/109.0

Steps to reproduce:

Attempted to fill out IRS form W-9 in Firefox 109.0 (Linux vanilla Mozilla build).

Form located at: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf

Enter a social security number under "Part I" that has leading zeros in one or more sections. Fake example number: "023-45-0789".

Actual results:

The leading zeros are dropped when tabbing to the next field. Applies to all three parts of the social security number field. Resulting number displayed after entering "023-45-0789" is "23-45-789".

Expected results:

The leading zeros in these fields should have been retained. The only workaround is to use the letter "O" instead of "0" (zero).

[Release mgmt bot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

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