probably as same as
Bug 462970 - textarea, input tag disappears (vanishes) when copy & pasted on the border.

Hi, I experienced the same problem. I think what actually happens is that when you paste text to the text box firefox overwrites the current selection of document (document.selection). Somehow if you click/drag (I don't know how to explain) on the border or outside the texbox while pasting the text, thereby you select some other part of the document (usually part of the input tag) before the actual paste, this selection is overwritten. This deletes the input tag completely (e.g. google) but on ohter sites also only overwrites only parts of the input tag such that it does not render correctly anymore (disappears).
In this strange selection state you can also press delete and the textbox will also disappear.
I think one should see this easyly in the ff code.
