It's an easy thing to do if you haven't had it happen before so you're not expecting it. You need to carefully work round under the edge of the speaker with a flat blade like a paint scraper to prevent it happening, although it can be difficult to get at the complete edge in a lot of cabs.

Try using a water based white glue, and dilute it down a bit so that you can brush it on to the paper. I dont think you will notice a sonic difference, unless you leave parts of it unglued and flapping around.
I've seen a few people damage their speakers like this. As ICBM says, always use a feeler gauge or something to completely loosen the speaker under the rim, never try to yank them out. Also watch out for this damage when buying speakers. Not all speakers tear as visually obvious as this. Some people will tear the cone off the chassis but you wont be able to see the damage because the damage is on the underside of the gasket / cone edge.
I've read on Internet that in the absence of the pieces that have torn off, they've used coffee filter paper instead.
or would textile material be any good?
