If two options in a <select> tag have the same "value" attribute and one of them
is the default "selected" option, Firefox will select the wrong option after a
fresh.

This is only happens when the non-selected tag comes after the selected tag (see
repro).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to the repro url or use this html
<html><body><select>
<option selected value="1">First Opt</option>
<option value="2">Second Opt</option>
<option value="3">Third Opt</option>
<option value="1">Fourth Opt</option>
</select></body></html>

2. Initially the "First Opt" text will be correctly selected
3. Click the Reload (aka refresh) button
4. After the reload, the "Fourth Opt" text will be selected

Actual Results:  
"Fourth Opt" is selected

Expected Results:  
"First Opt" is selected
Confirmed on PC/Linux with a 20041125 Firefox 1.0 CVS pull and an old Mozilla
1.7.3 20040919 CVS pull.
