Firefox has always increased the amount of memory it uses
over time. It doesn’t release the memory freed properly.

Yeah, the memory leak doesn’t always produce any
visible symptoms. Like I said elsewhere, in the last
month or two I have seen Pale Moon eventually
get so bad with a fixed set of web pages that it
stops clicks in other browsers working properly.
Closing Pale Moon sees that problem fixed.

I'm just now trying the alternatives like Waterfox
and the latest Firefox to see if they are any better
with that set of web pages.

The problem isn't seen with all the web pages, just a
subset of the 9 or so I run all the time with that browser.

> Maybe it could be better

Everything could be better. The main thing I don’t like
with all the Firefox derivatives is that there is no right
click menu on the vertical scroll bar like you get with
IE that is very useful with the very deep web pages
like you get in the facebook groups.
