Newbies can take days or weeks to discover the essential configs/extensions for any new software. Looking to fast track that! - all suggestions appreciated.
Beyond that, I strongly prefer tridactyl [2] over things like vimium (if you plan to use a vim-like extension); redirector [3] is fabulous (I use it particularly to setup redirects to minimal front-ends like invidious).
All the best,

As far as extensions, well you already have the most important one. But I also like:
- ClearURLs: remove tracking elements from URLs automatically
- "I still don't care about cookies": automatically block most cookie permission popups
- Refined Hacker News: adds nice QoL features like highlighting new posts, extra links in the nav, etc.
- Vimium: vim keybindings for browser navigation
I suggest learning about policies to manage the above mentioned annoyances: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox-enterpris...
Once you have fairly good policies.json it only needs an occasional updates. A backup copy is all you need to "instantly" configure any new installations.
