The following page honors the requested text color when viewed in Chrome but not in FF69 on Ubuntu Linux. 

<style>
    .male      {color:              #000080; /* dark blue */
                }
    .female    {color:              #800000; /* dark red */
                }
    .unknown   {color:              #008000; /* dark green */
                }
</style>

In Firefox it is not easy to style SELECT tags.

See Styling with CSS in the docs on MDN.

I have no problem styling the select. It Is the option tags for which FF is ignoring both class and style. I should not be forced to use JavaScript to make "male" display in blue, female in red, and unknown in green.
