I have an html page. I change the default value of a dropdown and save the page. Perform some actions and return to the same page with dropdown being inactive. I do f5, and the value in dropdown is lost. But with ctrl+f5 it is not lost. This is happening in FF esr31 onwards. It works with f5 in ie and chrome.

What Web Developer Tool are you using for this, the built in or another like Firebug?

These are the shortcuts that I can help with:

What cache headers does the server send?

Are you using the Back button to go back to the page?

A normal refresh via F5 should retain selects and radio box settings and data in input fields if you reload the page. If the website instructs the browser not to cache then this may fail. A hard refresh via Ctrl+F5 should reset such selections.
