Comment (by melchoyce):

 If we remove all of the select appearance styling, such as borders and
 backgrounds, we run into the issue where Chrome select boxes will
 collapse: https://cloudup.com/iUcjyM2EBVL

 This isn't a major problem on the Settings pages, though the reduced
 height makes it much harder to select. However, we run into pretty big
 issues when we look to any page where the select box is aligned alongside
 a button, such as the post listing page: https://cloudup.com/iTh6946awpo

 The only real issue on Firefox is the ugly visual styling of the arrows.
 The way I see it, we have two options to handle this:
 1. Remove the arrow using
 [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649849#c84 this method],
 then add an image to replace the arrow.
 2. Deal with kind of ugly arrows in Firefox until such time when Mozilla
 fixes this bug.

 My vote is for option 2.
