It may be due to Firefox’s behaviour.

Firefox seems to always default to the option selected by a user instead of the option that has the selected=”selected” tag – even on a page refresh (without even first POSTing the data)! Copy and paste the URL into another browser tab/window and it’ll most likely work fine… :)

Internet Explorer doesn’t have this problem (surprisingly).
