While for chrome browser, it is perfectly working fine.

I think there is some issue with firefox browser. Currently i can see that firefox can be updated to 48.0.2. Do we have a fix for this yet?

Could you share your code which have you tried?? – Saurabh Gaur
The problem is with Firefox browser. For chrome it's working fine. new Select(driver.findElement(By.name("country"))).selectByVisibleText("India"); – Ankit

You should use WebDriverWait if you are not using it.With WebDriverWait the code should be like 

Select sel = new Select(new WebDriverWait(driver,30).until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.name("country"))));
    sel.selectByVisibleText("Albania");
