Expected Results: "Select Element By Click" should also work with disabled form elements. I also found the same problem with disabled drop-down boxes. I have not tested other types of disabled form elements. But I guess that all are affected. Because manual selection in DOM Inspector is very circumstantial, I see this bug as "major".
(Same bug on Linux, and also with Mozilla [1.8a3])

Why have you set "Trunk" for this bug? Also 0.9.3 has this bug. So it is not trunk-only!

Was this ever fixed? I'd swear I've done it before without problems, but I just tested a few builds and none of them worked. Oh well.

This seems to be a general problem of the gecko engine. Please have a look at Bug 403081.
