User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/35.0.1916.153 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: When you hover over an <option> in a <select> element, the 'select.value' property is updated. See http://plnkr.co/edit/Wli7OkXQJ2V772jH95rb?p=preview Actual results: Since the select.value property is updated on a hover, it is basically updated before the user commits to a choice. Expected results: As seen when running the given example http://plnkr.co/edit/Wli7OkXQJ2V772jH95rb?p=preview in Chrome, the select.value should not update unless the user clicks on a given option.
Confirmed with Nightly 33.0a1 2014-07-14 on Windows 8.1 64 bit.

Ever confirmed: true
IMO Gecko's behavior is ok, but I was told other browsers don't update the value on hover, so we might want to change the behavior.
