.html() and Firefox 3.6 issue

Hi,
I'm currently using jquery 1.4.1 and I noticed a strange behaviour of firefox 3.6. When I change an element (like textarea) with .html("some new input"), the element only gets changed as long as it's been previously empty. In case I've written into the textarea already, the content wont change anymore. I couldn't replicate this behaviour on chrome, thus I think it's a firefox related issue.
