Delete your Firefox profile (save your bookmarks and passwords first using password exporter addon), it will then make a new profile and will work perfectly, I had the same problems a few times in the past and it fixes it everytime!
Firefox profile is in "C Drive-->Users-->your name--> AppData-->Roaming-->Mozilla-->Firefox"
That will fix the memory leak issue, the not closing correctly issue, slow loading and startup issue etc.
