I've noticed this especially when I youtube or video stream for a while. Switching between tabs takes 3-4 seconds. Definitely a memory leak! Is it a general problem or addon specific?

Also, when I try to close firefox and restart it, the process doesn'y get killed with the normal Command + Q in Mac. I need to use Force Quit instead.

Try updating Flash. You appear to be running an older version dating from September 2010 which might be the cause of the problem. Download from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

If the problem persists after updating, try running Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.
