User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.12; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Build ID: 20170307030205

Steps to reproduce:

Go to:
http://jsbin.com/lodayapaxa/1/edit?html,output

Notice the value displayed for the currently selected option element.


Actual results:

In Firefox, the currently selected option element has no displayed value (i.e. the label is ignored, even though we are not in quirks mode).


Expected results:

In Safari and Chrome, it displays 'Y', which is the label of the option element.

This is as per specification:
- https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/rendering.html#the-select-element-2

Note that you should probably still ignore the label in quirks mode to match Chrome and soon WebKit:

Sounds like that needs a spec bug...
