<style>
.male {color: #000080; /* dark blue */
}
.female {color: #800000; /* dark red */
}
.unknown {color: #008000; /* dark green */
}
</style>

In Firefox it is not easy to style SELECT tags.
See Styling with CSS in the docs on MDN.
I have no problem styling the select. It Is the option tags for which FF is ignoring both class and style. I should not be forced to use JavaScript to make "male" display in blue, female in red, and unknown in green.
