It's not a Firefox problem though; it doesn't work in IE either.
Indeed some silly JavaScript code that ignores anything you type but
alphanumerical characters. Which is as clever an idea as a sign bank
saying 'it is illegal to rob this bank'.

It works in my favourite text-only browser w3m though. Form seems to
have been processed too. Yay!
