This don't happening with Pale Moon.

Buggy or corrupted install of Waterfox perhaps:

Have you tried downloading, reinstalling, and reconfiguring Waterfox?

How many tabs do you have open?

Start with one tab open, then watch the Task Manager window as you continue to open other tabs.

Determine if there is some threshold number of tasks when the memory starts getting or gets consumed.

And keep an eye on what all is being launched at start up. Something there could be grabbing and holding/ not releasing memory.

I uses the portable version of Waterfox.
There are lots of tabs open that I can't count them, at least more than 20.
Most of the tabs contains links to picture files.
Also: With only one tab of Google, Waterfox consume the same amount of memory than Pale Moon with all of its tens of tabs open, sometimes even more:
