In a pot or in the ground? Ficus are very sensitive to sunlight changes. If in a pot and you just turn the pot, leaves will turn brown and start to fall quickly. Or if in the ground and some thing changes that changes the amount of sun, down comes the leaves. Not to worry, new leaves come out soon. There is a bug that spins a web inside a curled leaf, This will also cause the leaf to turn brown and fall. If a bug and serve spray with a plant insecticide. If only a few just leave alone. Again the new leaves come back soon. One more problem if in a pot, may need re potted if the soil smells like rotted plants. caused by over watering. This may kill the plant, if left un fixed
