When I enter my zip code, which begins in zero, into an online form, Firefox deletes the zero. Switching to Opera and no issue. There must be a simple tweak to fix this??

First I have heard of this.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Firefox shouldn't do anything with leading zeroes that the site doesn't tell it to do. If the problem continues in Firefox's Safe Mode, can you provide a link to a page demonstrating this problem?

And what input boxes it happened in.

Are these web pages possibly using a type="number" for this input field if you check this in the Inspector via the right-click context menu?

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?

I've switched to Opera. It was on different pages, not just one. But mostly account stuff so not public

This will be hard since this is a registered account and that will making tracking the problem harder.
