Obviously, uBlock Origin. Others are multi-account containers, facebook container, privacy badger, bitwarden (if you use it as a password manager), and keepa (if you shop on amazon).

MODERATORS
Sidebery is much better from my experience.
Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, NoScript imo. Some sites run an absolutely absurd amount of scripts and the majority are not required for the site to function. So at best, there's no value from letting them run.
I prefer uBlock Origin on hard mode instead, personally. Of course it probably isn't as through.
That used to be a must-have for me about 20 years back, but today, it just breaks too much on too many websites.
I could maybe see selectively-blacklisting particularly obnoxious websites, but I don't think that whitelisting them is really practical today.

Might not be a useful plugin, but fans of Terry Pratchett might like the GNU Terry Pratchett idea. For librewolf I use this slightly updated add-on which fixes some minor issues (source available).
Foxy Gestures
For me, I cannot go without the flagfox extension on PC. Otherwise, I'd probably just be going over extensions everyone else has been beating like a dead horse.
Can you explain why? I installed Flagfox and it's interesting especially cos I used to be a web dev but I don't get why you'd really need to have it? No offence I just wanna know if I'm missing some hidden feature! 😂
I just use it because I like to see where a website's server is supposedly located. No hiddeb features, just server location.
You really don't need anything besides uBlock Origin. With that said:
- Your password manager's extension would be convenient.
- LibRedirect is great so that any social links get redirected to privacy-respecting frontends.
- Dark Reader to save your eyes.
About some other ones that are mentioned:
- ClearURLs is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to remove the tracking parameters.
- Bypass Paywalls Clean is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to replicate this functionality.
Other:
- Firefox Multi-Account Contains is good for managing accounts.
- Temporary Containers is also good for isolating tabs.
IIRC, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes are no longer necessary with uBlock Origin. Neither is HTTPS Everywhere.
Flagfox, not that useful but it's interesting to see
Other than ublock:
- Vimium to let you scroll and navigate with your keyboard.
- Your password manager of choice.
