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).

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.
