In MSIE you can switch between the options from a dropdown field my selecting it
and move the mouse wheel up or down. Firefox doesnt.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. goto a page with a Dropdown field
2. select it (but dont open it, just select it)
3. scroll with the mousewheel

Actual Results:  
the Dropdown field doesnt change

Expected Results:  
It should (Like MSIE) change the value to the one directly before/after the
currently selected value.

[Mats Palmgren (inactive)]

The current behaviour is intentional. The mouse-wheel should not follow keyboard
focus. Use the keyboard arrow keys to change the selection in list controls.
See bug 97283 and bug 251986.
