Is your Issue reproducible when you disable the Hardware Acceleration via "Options"/"Advanced"/Tab: "General" and restart Firefox?
If yes, please post you Graphics Information you can get via about:support resp. "Help"/"Troubleshooting Information" after you reenabled Hardware Acceleration.#

You might also check out against a recent Nightly Build (http://nightly.mozilla.org/).

Yes. Bug not present when Hardware Acceleration at "Options"/"Advanced" Tab: "General" is disabled. Tried also manualy via about:config : bug not present when both layers.acceleration.disabled and gfx.direct2d.disabled are set to "true" - if i will set to "true" only one of them bug still present.
So this means on about:support page Direct2D enabled and DirectWrite must be "false" and GPU Accelerated WIndows  must be "0/1".

In real card name is "Club3D HD 3650 AGP" Latest drivers from official Club3D site(previous version was showing real card name in hardware manager and everywhere else but driver only supports HD 4670 AGP, HD 3850 AGP, HD 3650 AGP, HD 3450 AGP, HD 2400 AGP so i think it doesn't matter how it calls videocard.)Bug was also present with previous driver version.
And as i said in comment#1 bug was reproduced also on another PC so don't think videocard has matter.
P.S. http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/37.html card info: it supports DirectX® 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1

Firefox 4.0b11
about:support sayes:
Direct2d Enabled = Blocked for your video card driver
DirectWrite Enabled = False
GPU Accelerated WIndows = 0/1
Seems it was fixed by some of commits, related to Bug 623338.

This is definitely not fixed yet, since I have this problem in Beta 12 and RC1. Menus leave garbage on taskbar and desktop when using Classic theme on Windows 7 x64. It's keeping me from using FF4 as my primary browser.

Yes. It was fixed for me by adding my videocard diver to blacklist(and blocking hardware acceleration for my videocard). So this is beter say workaround but not fix.

I also get this problem when running Aero Basic and using Firefox with hardware acceleration enabled.
