Firefox causing empty PHP form variables??

[news]

This is really weird, and I would never believe it possible if it
weren't actually happening to me.

I've a customer database in mySQL, using PHP to create the forms, yadda
yadda.
All of a sudden, every time I edit a customer, when I submit the form
using Firefox 1.0.2 on Linux (Fedora Core 3) it sends empty form fields
to the database.

BUT, if I use Firefox on Windows, or Opera on Fedora Core 3, it works
perfectly fine.

Any ideas what in the world could cause this?
Firefox on Linux worked fine to up until...the last few days I think.
The only think I can think of, is I may have installed a couple of
extensions during that time.

Anyway, has anyone else seen this?

Thanks!

Take a look at how your <form> tags are nested between other tags (like
<table>, <tr>, <td>, etc.). I've run into weird problems where either
the <form> tag is not properly nested, or just by moving it inside or
outside of the other tags.

Shot in the dark : There's an extension that lets the user switch POSTs to
GETs, and vice versa. Might be switched on. I don't recall exactly what it's
called, but it puts a drop-down in the toolbar that reads 'Forms.'

Your biggest problem:
not doing any verification of the fields/input before doing the DB
update.

Sort of.
This is a form where empty fields may actually be legit. But I should
probably check that if ALL fields are submitted blank (which is nearly,
but not totally, unreasonable) then I should prompt a "confirm".
