Compiz is very likely a factor here. Following diego's advice, I switched the window manager to Metacity (using Compiz Fusion Icon), restarted Firefox, checked if the awesomebar was working (it was, no surprise here), suspended, resumed and immediately tried the awesomebar again. It was still working! Then I re-enabled Compiz, went through another suspend-and-resume cycle, and the old behavior (no suggestions coming up) was back.
Another thing that may or may not be relevant here: I have two portable computers, an Atom netbook running i386 Ubuntu and a Core 2 Duo notebook running the amd64 version. My home directories, including Firefox profiles as well as all dot files and directories, are the same on both machines and get synchronized periodically. On the 32-bit netbook I get the awesomebar issue each and every time after suspending with Firefox running, whereas on the 64-bit notebook I have never ever encountered it. That's the current situation with Lucid, and it was the same with Karmic. The two machines have, of course, vastly different hardware, but the selection of manually installed packages is very similiar.
