Text formatting is destroyed when pasting formatted text from some common apps on Mac like MS Word 2008 and Safari.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type "Hello World" in Word 2008 for Mac.
2. Format the "Hello World" as "Heading 1" so that the font becomes bigger and bolded.
3. Copy the "Hello World" and paste into a blank page in Firefox editor mode.
Actual Results:  
"Hello World" was pasted into Firefox, without the bold and large font formatting.

Expected Results:  
"Hello World" should be pasted with bold and big font.

The same thing happens when pasting formatted text from Safari.

Pasting from Firefox works though.
