Answer 1

I am surprised nobody experienced this issue. I guess I might have posted the question in the wrong place because I did not get any response. Anyway, this turned out to be a bug in Firefox 48. It is fixed in Firefox 51 (Nightly build).

If you are using Selenium 3 beta and Firefox 48 with geckodriver, you won't be able to interact with any drop down list using the webdriver. The issue was fixed in Firefox 51.
