Just recently made the switch to Firefox. What settings do I need to change?

In the settings, I believe in the privacy and security section, turn the tracking protection from 'standard' to 'strict'.

Also uncheck "allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla"

And finally, if you want to, in the security section, enable HTTPS-only mode. Some websites aren't HTTPS, though, and you'll get a warning before visiting these.
