If no option has the selected attribute set, Safari doesn't reset the
options. Set the selected attribute for the option you want to be the
default selected (usually the first one) in the HTML source or however
you create the options:
<select ... >
<option selected ... >
<option ... >
...
You are supposed to do that anyway, but no one ever does.

"If no OPTION element has the selected attribute set, user agent
behavior for choosing which option is initially selected is undefined.
Note. Since existing implementations handle this case differently, the
current specification differs from RFC 1866 ([RFC1866] section 8.1.3),
which states:
"The initial state has the first option selected, unless a
SELECTED attribute is present on any of the <OPTION>
elements.
"Since user agent behavior differs, authors should ensure that each
menu includes a default pre-selected OPTION."
