1. Only 1 tab but eats 453 MB RAM! RAM eater. 2. Bad download manager with slow download speed & sometimes download failure. After pause / resume, downloads fail. 3. No built in ad blocker as Firefox's concern to protect privacy . 4. No built data saver for limited / slow connection.

For the RAM usage, try to refresh Firefox Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings . Firefox also comes with built in Tracking Protection, which if you enable that will block some ads and help save data and speed up page loads. What happened to Tracking Protection?

As for 435megs being used that is normal these days. What were the other processes running at that hold separate video/Audio, sandbox/extensions and other stuff in Task Manager like ?
Firefox does not at this time have a built in ad blocker per say as there are pages and pages of ad blockers that you can choose from made by Developers : 28 pages in this search using ad blocker https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=ad%20blocker

You can try this to improve performance if that is what your looking to do Please try a Refresh but Note that this does more than uninstalling and re-installing does. Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt. Please Refresh but do this 1st: Delete your Cookies and Cache and TEST.

Note: Any customization will revert back to default, you will also need to reinstall Extensions.
If worried about ram then possible this is a old system with 8gig of ram or lower with drivers that can not and have never been updated for the motherboard and the video card drivers are not made any more. Is that about right ?
To be Checked and turned off unless needed for accessibility : Please : go to the Firefox 3 Bar Menu --> Options --> Privacy & Security panel and under Permissions check (put a tick in the box) the setting to Prevent Accessibility Services from accessing your browser.
Multi-Processor Support : Go to the 3 Bar Menu then Options --> General --> Performance and untick everything. change the recommended size lower then see how it runs. Note: 1 = No Multiprocessor = slow again. Try 2 Restart Firefox after making these changes please. Note : Hardware Acceleration is for Video Card, Monitor to see if remain off or to turn back on.
Only Disable as last resort.
Multi-processor Can completely disable it this way in about:config : dom.ipc.processCount set to 1 browser.tabs.remote.autostart = false browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2 = false
Only move to esr if low ram and old system.
Firefox Extended Release Version : Firefox ESR does not come with the latest features but it has the latest security and stability fixes.
If do please :

Worried about undue bandwidth being used should look at Windows 10 as it connects to pages of places. This was created a year ago : https://gist.github.com/sh1omi/a340c69aace8e4290e9a393b8b766fc2 Try this to block some of that going out : https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10 or this one https://www.safer-networking.org/products/spybot-anti-beacon/
You can check how much data and stuff going through Win10 by going to Settings --> Network & Internet --> Data Usage
