The event should be canceled, that's not the problem here.

The difference is that in Firefox, the dropdown drops before the event is fired.

Compare the behaviours on this test:

The HTML spec doesn't say anything about how the widgets are implemented at that level. It differs from platform to platform, so there's not much the spec _can_ say. For compatibility, though, it seems that select widgets implemented using dropdowns should drop down before the mousedown event is fired at the DOM.
