Take some of the leaves into a garden center and ask someone there. They may be able to let you know what's going on, and what you can do to prevent/help it.

It could be that there is not proper drainage, but if your other fig trees are fine, you may have an isolated problem like a fungus. Check the branches for spots or decay. Hard to tell since I can't see it. I would take a branch off and take it to a nursery for some quick answers.

if the browning starts at the tips, its salt buildup. water enough to wash out the salt every couple weeks.
Examing leaves with a magnifying glass or loupe.
Small insects and spider mites can be controlled by strong spray of water.

when we bought ours we were told to not let it have too much heat, and it needs good drainage so plant it in a wooden trough....i live in Britain though so im not sure if its different in other climates
