By selecting Firefox from the dropdown, this is causing the file to be launched in a new instance of Firefox, which is different from the mechanisms under test here. When the "Open in Firefox" radio button was not shown due to bug 1662795, the test shouldn't continue. I don't know for sure what is expected on Mac OS, but it seems reasonable it would be in a different window instead of the same window as on Windows.
