Searching for regression range.
Can you provide more details about what distribution, desktop environment, and theme you are using?
Please also check if this happens in Firefox 17 or 18 to determine if it's a recent regression. And it would be useful to know if you have HWA turned on. Please provide a copy of the graphics section of about:support.

17.0.1 (20121128204232) is worst because the menu has opacity 0 and you can actually see trough the panel what's behind it.
and 18.0.2 (20130201065344) has the same issue as in 19.0 to Latest Nightly.

This is the result from mozregression
Last good nightly: 2012-10-18
First bad nightly: 2012-10-19

Pushlog:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=cb573b9307e5&tochange=0ff60bfb3442

The issue also happens with HWA off.

I'm not certain about this regression range (Firefox 19 Nightly) if the issue is reproducible and worse going back to Firefox 17.

Does someone on the SocialAPI Development team have any ideas?
FWIW, I'm unable to reproduce this on my Ubuntu 64bit VM:

When I say "theme" I meant Ubuntu theme, not Firefox theme. The default Ubuntu theme is black whereas your screenshot shows a gray.
I can reproduce the issue with the default Ubuntu theme as well on the machine with the ATI card specified in comment 3. So there must be something else involved here. 
Couldn't reproduce on a machine with an Nvidia card.

Will try to find another ATI machine and figure out the issues with the regression range.

On Ubuntu there are three different drivers: proprietary, open source, and fallback. Can you please check to see which of these drivers this bug reproduces?
FWIW, this does not reproduce for me on Ubuntu 12.04 with an AMD Radeon HD 7950 using the proprietary driver version "4.2.12002 Compatibility Profile Context 9.012". This seems to be a bit more up to date than what you are using. Can you trying using the latest available from AMD's website?
Works fine after uninstalling the driver. Graphics section from about:support in Latest Nightly looks like this:

  Adapter Description: X.Org -- Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR
  Device ID: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR
  Driver Version: 2.1 Mesa 8.0.4
  GPU Accelerated Windows: 0/1 Basic 
  Vendor ID: X.Org
  WebGL Renderer: X.Org -- Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR

After installing the latest driver, downloaded from support.amd.com, text on notification panel is displayed correctly.

  Adapter Description: ATI Technologies Inc. -- ATI Radeon HD 5450
  Device ID: ATI Radeon HD 5450
  Driver Version: 4.2.12002 Compatibility Profile Context 9.012
  GPU Accelerated Windows: 0/1 Basic 
  Vendor ID: ATI Technologies Inc.
  WebGL Renderer: ATI Technologies Inc. -- ATI Radeon HD 5450       

I'll move this to invalid, as it works with a recent version of the video card.
