Can you elaborate on "I load information for a file"?
Sounds like a cache issue. Are you using a server-side implementation?

It appears that IE is caching your values locally and Firefox is not. Since you most likely have not specified caching rules for the page each app is making up it's own mind of how to handle it.
Try adding this at the top of the PHP page to force the browser to cache the form data:
header("Cache-control: private");

I have tried the line header("Cache-control: private"); and still no cache.
But your right, firefox is caching the values if I do a remote access. So the problem is with my local test server. Less bad, no problem for the client ;)
but I'm still looking for a way to make firefox cache locally my dropdownlist.
