When a form in a page has a select element with one option selected in particular, and the page changes to have a different option selected, and the user refreshes the page, the source code updates in Firefox but the actual selected element does not.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a form with a select element, several option elements inside it, and make one of them selected so it is selected by default.
2. Load the page in Firefox.
3. Change the page so a different element is selected.
4. Reload the page in Firefox. The source is updated, but the element is not.
5. Force a reload with shift. This is fine.
Actual Results:  
As stated above, the select element does not update to have the correct default option selected.

Expected Results:  
It should update as per the source code it's reading.

This is by design, form fields are not reset when reloading the page.

Should there be difference in behavior when BROWSING TO a page or RELOADING that same page? Imho this is really a bug..
