@Compactor9679@PrivateOnions uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, Multi-account Containers, Facebook Container, and Decentraleyes are the basic extensions you’d want. Then disable pocket and telemetry in settings. There’s more but that’s a pretty good starting configuration.
install just adblock origin and consentomatic and the quality of your internet experience will increase 10 fold. that’s really all you need and then you can add on some more extensions later.
I use the Arkenfox user.js repository for my Firefox profile, with a few lines in the user.js file modified to make it easier to use such as keyword.enabled set to true and browser.startup.page = 1 and other stuff, installed UBlock Origin, Decentraleyes, Dark Reader, Cookie AutoDelete, and Multiaccount Containers with certain cookies set to never delete within those containers. I have taken three different browser fingeprint tests from different sources and it does great in all three tests with super solid fingerprinting resistance. It is, in my opinion the most private yet very usable and daily driveable browser.
Unfortunately Firefox by default is not very private hence why Brave even took off in the first place. People are too lazy to spend a couple of minutes configuring and understanding how their browser works to make it as private as possible, and instead trust a shady third party company with no long term history to create a “private by default” browser. Now Brave obviously does good to protect your privacy from big tech like Google or Microsoft, but not from they themselves, they even block other companies ads but replace it with their own ads. Shady as hell.
With First Party Isolation is place, containers now add up very little to your privacy to be honest. They are mostly helpful in convenient compartmentalization of your browsing activities without actually having two different browsers.
Firefox is already very privacy focused, and its default settings are pretty good.
Partially incorrect. There is unnecessary telemetry that you would prefer to get rid of, for an example there is a setting for extensions recommendation as you browse. Also, probably because of their deal with Google, Firefox defaults to Google’s location services even though Mozilla has its own. You may want to change that as well for better privacy. I am only citing a handful few examples, there is more for you to dig in. uBO is a must have with right set of filters enabled according to your own privacy threat vectors. There is a reason hardening is a common practice among Firefox users.
What are your setting os Firefox? What do you recomend?

The Containers extension is the only thing you really need IMO. Firefox is already very privacy focused, and its default settings are pretty good.
