This is actually not quite accurate. This is the old way of selecting an
option; as of XHTML 1.0 valueless attributes are no longer valid, so while
the old form still is respected by most browsers, it is appropriate to use
selected="selected" and checked="checked" if one is coding to the more
recent spec.
Regardless, if that were the problem, the first value would be selected by
default, not the last. The problem I suspect is Mozilla's tendency to
ignore first-load defaults on refresh and choosing to go with previously
selected values, which it is known to do.
Best wishes,
Jw.
