In a roundabout way, yes. Torbutton forwards Firefox traffic to Polipo, 
which in turn sends the traffic to the SOCKS port of Tor. Disabling 
Torbutton and entering the Tor SOCKS information into Firefox's network 
configuration would skip the Polipo part, and eliminate any problems you 
might be having with some hidden Polipo cache.

Everything else you mentioned points to you using Firefox and Tor 
properly, I'd try either skipping Polipo (really only a testing 
solution, as by not using Torbutton, you lose all the other goodies it 
gives you (beyond simple SOCKS configuration), and would have to change 
Firefox's network config every time you wanted to use or stop using 
Tor). If it's indeed a Polipo problem and that fixes it, Geoff's 
solution seems like it would make a rather nice permanent solution for 
you. You could skip right to that if it sounds easier than screwing 
around with Firefox's network configuration.

Simply close the process. The memory cache disappears along with the 
rest of the rest of the process. No fenangling necessary.
