Eg: a green backgrounded option appears green in the list while selecting, but once an option is selected, the styles are not rendered. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to http://amigrave.com/upload/posts/mozilla/option_style_background/ 2. Look at the current background color of the select option (white) 3. Try to select another option, you'll see that the background color of the default selected option was not white but green

i currently don't know what the css-specs are saying, but the decoration of the selected option can be controlled in mozilla by applying some css to the "select" element.
