I'm running Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS on a T42 with a ATI Radeon Graphics card. After updating to Firefox 4 I could not see the new dialogs that appear when clicking the icons (favicons?) on the awesome bar. Just the shadowed frame is visible, not the contents. This happens with the "Remember Password" dialog, the bookmarks dialog and any other dialog that appears when pressing an icon in the awesome bar... Problem occurs only with Compiz or Metacity with compositing turned on. If using Metacity without compositing, all dialogs work fine. Seems to be an overlay problem. I could fix the bookmark problem by adding some code into the userchrome.css file. (Made it a fixed position with a fixed backgorund color)

finally I found a workaround: disable the menubar, so there's only the firefox menu button in the upper left corner. (View-Toolbars-Menubar) The items not shown are called "#arrowpanel" and it seems that the mozilla developers did not check it versus compositing window managers such as Compiz oder Metacity when the menubar is activated/visible. there is a xul.css in the omni.jar that describes it- but I'm not firm enough with css to qualify it, besides I didn't download the source code.

You may want to post about that issue in the Ubuntu fora. I suspect that is an issue with the Ubuntu / Firefox builds and not the official Firefox builds for Linux.
