 The default admin CSS adds borders, background colors, and other styling
 to <select> elements that actually cause the default browser styling to
 become unstyled in Firefox on the Mac.

 The default OS and browser styles actually handle select boxes pretty
 well.

 I propose that these styles be removed from any global <select> element.
 If borders need to stay, they should be applied using a more descriptive
 selector so if I wanted to use default browser styling in a plugin I can.

 I tested this in Firefox (Mac), Safari (Mac), Chrome (Mac), Firefox (Win)
 and IE 8 by looking at various pages with select boxes (Posts, Settings,
 Quick Edit, Categories).  The only difference is that on Firefox (Win) the
 border is blue instead of gray and I believe if it's desired to keep this,
 then a targeted class can accomplish the same task without affecting other
 operating systems.

 The patch doesn't apply to the blue theme at this time.
