Build Identifier: 

Opposed to Internet Explorer, Firefox always has been posting the 'value' component of an <input type="image" value="something" /> the latest incarnation of Firefox doesn't anymore.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
<html>
<form method="GET">
<input type="text" name="some" value="text" />
<input type="image" value="world" name="hello" src="./dia/shapes/Circuit/hpowersource_de.png" />
</form>
</html>

Actual Results:  
Submited;
Firefox 4: file:///tmp/test.html?some=text&hello.x=0&hello.y=0
Firefox 3: file:///tmp/test.html?some=text&hello.x=0&hello.y=0&hello=world
Chromium: file:///tmp/test.html?some=text&hello.x=20&hello.y=16&hello=world


Although the bug can be worked around with:

<input type="submit" class="image" name="action" value="1" style="background-image: url('preview/9efdcfa04043bc88bf0cac872e26d75d.png'); width: 269px; height: 200px; font-size: 0;" />
Reproduced.

Given that the alternative is logging a bug with webkit/chrome/safari supporting a useful webfeature, including the rest of the web <http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/att_input_type.asp> teaching it is in fact just a special 'submit button', I guess trying the above would be indeed a good thing.
