Firefox ignores option selected=“selected”

Question

If you change a dropdown and refresh the page, Firefox seems to ignore the selected attribute.

Answer 1

Just had the same issue, believe me it's been more than 10 hours struggling with this stupid firefox behavior, i have 7 dropdowns, each of them will trigger an event and fill in 24 hidden inputs, so you can imagine having the right option selected with 24 wrong input values!!! the solution i finally found is to reset the form with Javascript adding this line of code:

window.onload = function() { document.forms['MarkerForm'].reset(); };

PS: the inputs have the values pulled from a database, so resetting the form does not empty any value but in a way tells firefox to go back the hell to selected=selected option!
