Open a <select> dropdown. Hit Ctrl/Cmd-W to close the tab. The tab doesn't close. With the old non-e10s dropdowns this worked.
In bug 1191897, this was fixed for Windows. Native dropdowns on Mac and Linux as well as dropdowns on Chrome (on Mac at least) ignore shortcuts while open, so I left this behaviour as is there.
Mass wontfix for bugs affecting firefox 52.
[Triage] P3 for now. But I'd like to save a NI fo Neil after his needinfo queue is reopened - Hi Neil, reading your comment 1, does that mean the current behaviour on Linux and Mac is expected and we could go close this bug as WONTFIX?

I don’t think it’s expected behaviour. Both Chrome and Safari on macOS allow a cmd + w keyboard shortcut to close a tab while a select menu is open. A second side effect: in Firefox clicking on the close tab button while a select menu is open will close the select menu, not the tab.
