Have they patched the memory leak issues with this version? I don't personally use Firefox on my personal computer, but I use it when I'm at college, I read on one Firefox support page that some user was still experiencing problems. A moderator suggested it most likely to due to third-party extensions, is this the case?

I think it was Version 18 that I had all the problems with. So far, Version 20.0.1 has been very stable. In fact, I haven't even noticed any "zombie compartments" mentioned in about:khuey - Fixing the Memory Leak and described by Mozilla at Zombie compartments. That only seemed to occur when I had more than the usual 15 tabs open and had been opening/closing tabs throughout the day.
