(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jason Creighton]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.9) Gecko/20071025 Firefox/2.0.0.9

When firefox reloads a page, it selects the options that were previously selected based upon the value attribute of the option. When the value of a disabled option matches that of another option and the disabled option comes later in the <select> than the enabled option, the disabled option will become selected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load attached test case in Firefox.
2. Click reload.
Actual Results:  
The second option, which is disabled, is selected.

Expected Results:  
I expected the first option to remain selected. I did not expect that a disabled option could become selected by reloading the page.
