The 

:empty
selector only selects elements with no children, not elements with no value attribute.

A 

[value]
selector will select elements with a value attribute/property. Firefox always defines 
value
on 
input
elements whereas Chrome does not. In most cases using 
input[type=text][value='']
will do what you want.

I don't think there's a bug here so I'll close the ticket.
