Currently Firefox 3.5.... but I am considering changing to Opera because of this shitty memory leak.

Firefox no longer closes properly for me and stays running in the background until I shutdown and Windows closes it for me, or I have to use the task manager to end the process.

What about uninstalling and re-installing Firefox.  If you have already tried that, try running the file and registry cleaner using CCleaner after uninstalling, but before re-installing Firefox.

If Firefox still does not work after that, it is logical to conclude it is your installation of Windows, not Firefox that is the problem.
