Can you post of snippet of apt's output relevant to installing a 
recommended package dependency during an upgrade? I didn't think that 
was supposed to happen on an upgrade action, but then again I don't use 
the "full-upgrade" command very often to know for sure.

Also, posting the "Depends:" and "Recommends:" lines from "apt show 
waterfox" could be helpful.

Anyhow, using "apt upgrade --only-upgrade" should update existing 
packages without installing any new ones.
