Confirmed. Also happens in Mozilla1.7.
Opera and IE6 always show the first item, also after the refresh.

I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate.... <select> form state restoration sucks.  A lot.  :(

Reproduced using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0.4) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.4 Iceweasel/10.0.4

There is another test case here:

Forgot to mention that there is an additional issue in this test case (http://labs.silverorange.com/files/firefox-select-bug/). If there are two options with the same name and the second option is marked as disabled it will still become selected on refresh.

Charles, could you attach that testcase to the bug? (by using the "Add an attachment" link). That way, it doesn't get lost. Thanks.

I've tried adding the attachment three times, once selecting auto-detect the mime-type and the other two setting the mime-type to text/html. For some strange reason it is also setting the attachment's mime-type to text/plain. Perhaps someone with a higher power can update it. Sorry about that.
