Please correct me if I am wrong about the STR's. I was not very sure about step 5 and 6 there.

1. Go to http://translate.google.ru
2. Select any two languages to be translated
3. Type/copy wome words in the left box.
4. Select (by mouse) the phrase in the right column (theresult).
5. Copy it by dragging with left click to the box in the left.
6. Attempt to edit.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode?

How about with a new, empty profile?

Using the above STR's everything worked for me.

It is happens in safe mode also. But I found the cause of accident: firefox 5.0 started to copy the text with all the html-attributes. I can even copy the input box to input box now (see attachment). And I'm not sure now that this bug firefox. Is it a new feature, which is not expected by Google ?

Have you tried with the clean profile? Maybe it's related to some changes you made to your user profile.

Does this occur since upgrading to Firefox 6?

I don't think that is intended.
