Thanks.

Since the memory gets freed once firefox is exited, perhaps you have a
general performance issue rather than just a memory leak.

There are some known performance issues in -ati with KMS enabled.  If
you haven't tried it already, you could test if booting the kernel with
the option radeon.modeset=0 makes it perform well with no degredation.
