There is now an ongoing discussion about the handling of disconnected elements and the PR didn't actually land like I expected. For that reason I restricted showPicker to Firefox Nightly and this will probably NOT ship in Firefox 121.

Summary:

There is an existing showPicker method for HTMLInputElement, but <select> dropdowns were kind of overlooked when adding it. This is just a natural extension of that feature to support showing that dropdown as well.
