I'm confused by this bug report, which I stumbled upon while about to report a certain issue. I'm not sure it's the same one, but it sounds like it might be related or the same.

To clear things up, on a select element (drop-down list), there are 2 mouse wheel cases that I know of.
First, is on drop down (ie: the list is opened). In this case, both Firefox and IE lets you use the mouse wheel to scroll up and down (if the select has a vertical scrollbar).

There is also another case: when the select element is focused but the list isn't opened (a state you can achieve by clicking the list twice). In that case, you can use the mouse wheel to scroll through the elements in IE, but not in Firefox.

This is a wanted feature, IMO, which improves accessibility. For example, I've just made pages which use JavaScript/AJAX, instantly changing information displayed on the page depending on the selected option of a select element. With IE, I can change the displayed information by simply focusing the select element and using the mouse wheel. In Firefox, I have to click the list twice to change the displayed data (+ having to scroll scroll up or down in the opened list).

If you no longer see this issue, please close this bug as RESOLVED, WORKSFORME. If you do see the bug, please post a comment.
