Firefox ignores option selected="selected"

drop-down-menu, firefox, refresh

Solution

AFAIK, this behaviour is hard-coded into Firefox.

You could try setting each form element to its `defaultValue` on page load.

Problem

If you change a dropdown and refresh the page, Firefox seems to ignore the selected attribute. ``` <option selected="selected" value="Test">Test</option> ``` It will in fact select the option you had previously selected (before the refresh). This ends up being a problem for me since there is an event triggered on the dropdown which changes other things. Is there a way to make firefox stop this behavior (other than firing another event when the page loads)?
