No, rather when no submit button field was found, a default submit
button should be assumed.  IE and Mozilla will submit a form when an
enter is hit under certain circumstances.  I believe this will lead to
the form being submitted without any named submit button being sent
(yes?) -- in this case, FFK should act as though the default submit
button was hit.
