I have a form with an input <input id="quantity" name="quantity" step="0.01" type="number"> but when I type something like 5.5 it tells me that is not valid. The regional setting in Windows 10 are set to use a point as the decimal symbol, but Firefox will only accept it as a number if I use a comma e.g. 5,5

It also did this on Windows 7. Other browsers do accept the point symbol.

I have figured out what was causing it. I had declared the language in html as en-ZA. Changing it to en fixed the problem i.e. <html lang="en">
