#33386: Autocomplete on refresh with Firefox interacts badly with
ModelMultipleChoiceField in forms

Steps to reproduce:
- visit a form containing a ModelMultipleChoiceField (such as the page for
editing an auth.group in django admin) with a recent version of Firefox.
The widget has two <select>s, and the second one contains the chosen
elements.
- refresh the page with f5 or the reload button
- notice that the second <select> is now empty (no <option>s)
This causes inadvertent data loss when the user then submits the form. The
behaviour can be avoided by setting autocomplete="off".
A similar behaviour is noticeable in normal <select> widgets, where the
value chosen before refreshing is still selected after the refresh,
regardless of the <option> selected="" attribute, although this being a
bug is debatable, and certainly not limited to django.
