I am using Torbutton. It is supposed to Torrify Firefox - yes?
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.

Don't know what would have to do to clear mem cache from Fx activity -
shut down computer? (assuming memory caching was enabled)
Simply close the process. The memory cache disappears along with the
rest of the rest of the process. No fenangling necessary.
