I recall somewhere in the mists of time that while that may work, it may also not be *standard* and thus a conforming UA would be within its rights to drop it, since POST trumps GET in all cases. See if the form works uniformly when you add a hidden field to it with :account_settings as the name, and remove the querystring from the form action. If you add that with a f.hidden_field helper, then you will need to change your controller to access the attribute from within the parent object's params hash, i.e.: params[:customer][:account_settings] rather than params[:account_settings].

Further to this a good plan is to copy/paste the complete generated
html into the html validator
https://validator.w3.org/#validate_by_input

Often when different browsers behave differently for the a site is it
down to invalid html, which the two browsers are interpreting
differently.
