User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20131205075310 Steps to reproduce: I tried to register to the newsletter on http://frenchweb.fr/ : after entering my email address, I clicked on the "submit" button on the top right corner of the web page. Actual results: Nothing happened under Firefox 26, but it worked under MS IE 10... Expected results: AFAIK the <input></input> syntax is wrong since input never had any end tag... However, this syntax seems to be produced by some framework (I haven't investigated which one). And it is supported by MS IE 10. Maybe supporting this wrong syntax in Firefox too (even if this is quite unsatisfactory, I agree) would avoid users' misunderstanding? Thanks in advance.
If you type your email address into the box, hit tab and then enter, does that work?

Yes :Ms2ger, it works. Therefore, it seems to be a mouse pointer event issue...
