A lot of what you say here is more personal preference.
I don't know what you mean with the find thing, I have had the same find bar as long as I can remember
The Options could maybe be cleaned up a bit, but I don't find it that hard. Proxy is in Advanced->Network->Connection Settings. Makes sense to me.
As far as graphics, this is extremely personal. I prefer the clean look of firefox compared to IE's "Beautiful". Firefox has theme support, use it.
Your point on terminology is pretty valid
The built in spellcheck is awesome, I don't know why you wouldn't want it, and the phishing filter is important to build in because the inexperienced users most suceptible to phishing are the least likely to go out and get a seperate extension to do something like that.
Close tabs - another personal thing
Memory - while it's certainly bigger than it needs to be, I have never found it to be excessive mine uses about 70MB unless I open a large number of tabs
The extensions stuff would be a nice addition, but I don't consider it something that is "broken"
tab busy stuff - probably depends on adobe acrobat, and if you are worried about firefox's memory and lagging when opening a pdf, you shouldn't be using adobe acrobat (use foxit)
