Firefox does this to me on normal selects... if you reload Firefox
will keep whatever you selected instead of "resetting" the select
field. If instead of reloading I go up into the address bar and hit
return (to trigger a ''new'' load) then it resets itself.
I don''t know if there is a work around other than to forcibly move
things around using javascript based on what they did...
