I remain unconvinced that FF itself has serious memory leaks. What it *does* have is memory management that as shipped is tuned to favor tab-switching and forward-back nav perfomance over memory footprint. There are several configuration tweaks to change that.
The Flash plugin had severe memory leaks at one point; I think they've been fixed.
Concur with your comments about the extensions and multi-engine search stuff. Tab Mix Plus, Context Search, Search Engine Ordering and AdBlock are must-haves also. If you do significant JavaScript work then check out
FireBug.
