Firefox 118 was released 9/26 (and 118.0.1 on 9/28).

Oh, now Firefox, like Safari, recognizes the `<search>` element.

In Safari for Mac, the Exclamation point, question mark, ellipsis buttons are still rounded and on iOS, they're circles. Maybe add `appearance: none` which also changes the Mac border style and background color and doesn't seem to change the buttons in Chrome or Firefox for Mac.

I read it the same way as you. Only Firefox is following the spec.

So good of the spec authors to address what is likely a common error.
