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.

It happend to me and others that I know.
More exactly how to reproduce:
(I will use google.com as example but it appear in all <input> of text)
1 - write something and copy it to the clipboard.
2 - Delete all content of the textbox.
3 - Paste de text.
4 - Hold the left button at the start of the text.
5 - Move the mouse to the end of the text (selecting it). Don't release the mouse button.
6 - Hold Ctrl key.
7 - Move the cursor to the button of "Search with google" until a hand cursor appear.
8 - Move the cursor to the text box until a edit text cursor appear.
9 - Push the V key (it's as if you will paste something). The textbox disappear instead of paste the content of the clipboard.

I have firefox 3.6.6 on a Ubuntu 10.04.
