Comment 1

[Umair Ahmad Shaikh]

The above bug is encountered on ALL websites with drop-down menus (NON-JAVASCRIPT BASED)

Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Linux armv7l; rv:2.0b9pre) Gecko/20101231 Firefox/4.0b9pre
Fennec/4.0b4pre

1. goto http://regweb.kfupm.edu.sa/Student/course_open1.asp
2. choose a course from any of the menus

although the option comes as highlighted on the firefox list, it isn't actually selected

Similar on http://www.fanfiction.net

This issue is still reproducing on:
Build id : Mozilla/5.0 (Maemo;Linux armv7l;rv:2.0b13pre)Gecko/20110314
Firefox/4.0b13pre Fennec /4.0b6pre
Device: Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
OS: Android 2.1 update 1

Go to http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Test/HTML401/current/tests/sec17_6_1-BF-01.html
The drop down shows up the list only when is tapped for the first time and after that it won't work at all.

The url in comment 0, http://www.bestbuymobile.com/ , is fixed in trunk. This was the "opacity:0 on select" bug, bug 649000.

The urls mentioned in comment 1 are worksforme in current trunk build. Although on http://www.fanfiction.net/ , I'm not sure what to look for. I used http://www.fanfiction.net/search.php for testing.
This sounds like a different issue than the one this bug report mentions, fwiw.
Please file a new bug for it, if you can still reproduce, Umair.

I can reproduce the issue mentioned in comment 2.
The bug seems to be happening because the select is inside an iframe. The iframe url is this: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Test/HTML401/current/tests/17_6_1-BF-01.html

But the bug mentioned in comment 2 is also different than the original bug filed here.
So I'm going to mark this bug as a duplicate of bug 649000, since it was fixed by that bug.
