Bring back the ability to enter decimal points in numeric fields.

[clmeyerva]

Scenario:  data entry into a numeric field that should allow decimal points, example 23.3 as a value.

Issue:  Firefox allows the 23, but addition of the decimal point clears the field.

============================

From our tech support:

This appears to be an issue introduced in version 113 of Firefox, I was running 112 and this did not occur until I updated. 
 
What is happening is the browser has decided to not allow non-numeric entries in the html number input but it doesn't seem to be very consistent about it. Presumably the issue is that ending a number in a period is not considered a valid number so it clears it before you are allowed to finish entering the decimal place numbers. It is possible to copy/paste in a full number containing a decimal place as that is considered valid, ex 12.0. 
 
For a long time Firefox did not support this input type and would simply treat it as a text input so I suspect they've recently added this functionality and we're seeing some growing pains that will hopefully get patched out on their end in the near future.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Unfortunately very serious! Breaks our React/Typescript based banking app.

this is still not fixed and i dont get how this is not a top priority... i mean it excludes using decimal numbers in the web lol... we were already forced to tell all our clients to use chrome

Also still experiencing this bug as of version 116.0.2 - any updates on a future fix @Jon? Thanks.
