Just so you know IDCAC was bought by Avast, which is being bought by Norton/Symantec. There's "I still don't care about cookies" or the built in uBlock cookie banner options as a replacement.
Apart from what others mentioned I'd suggest installing DeArrow, from the maker of SponsorBlock. It gets rid of clickbait titles and thumbnails on YouTube.
NoScript, uBlock Origin and Dark mode. (But I prefer the experimental darkmode setting in Vivaldi) Those are essential to me.
Panorama view is close to essential, I wish I found a tab stack alternative that works with it. (Haven't looked yet, Vivaldi is my current main browser, until Fifefox can get tames in the same way)
Ublock origin, consent o matic
I would flip origin for Adnausem. It is built on top of unlock origin and it will click on the ads behind the scene and messes your digital footprint.
I love that, what a great idea!
Tried consent-o-matic yesterday, it saved me a bunch of clicks and F12s to
hideremove cookies popups that always covers my screen.. thanks!uBlock Origin and I don't care about cookies. They're essential for me.

You nearly tricked me to install a vim plugin. I'd never be able to exit my browser again! /s
you say it like it's a bad thing
Not exiting the browser or using vim?
yes
I see...

But then where will I get to see an overexposed background image, some all caps text, and a portrait of someone with their mouth open, all at once?
You can click the dearrow button next to all thumbnails to see the original title and image.
OMG This makes Youtube useable!!! Honestly, it just relieved so much anxiety for me.
People have already covered the great ones so I will mention one of the more obscure.

Holy shit. Been looking for an addon like this
Clearurls sounds divine. I'm always deleting that extra bs.
What about ghostery? I just started using it and I really like it, but, I just started using it :-)
I have heard that Ghostery was sponsored by the ad industry to collect data. Been a while though.
Try ublock matrix for an alternative.
uBlock Origin and SponsorBlock
uBlock Origin
Dark Reader
Return YouTube Dislike
SponsorBlock
Skip Redirect or Fast Forward
Dark reader screws up some sites for me, I prefer "dark background and light text" cuz it's more comprehensive and you can customize the asset colors
The only add-on that I consider necessary is uBO (with advanced settings).
All others are very good to have installed, in fact I use many of them, but I can live on just fine without them.
uBO and noscript
Unlock origin, fast forward, dark reader, turbo downloader 3, sponsor block and terms of service; didn't read.
Ublock origin is a requirement for all browsers, not just firefox. So definitely that one.
Bitwarden, cookie autodelete
Bypass for ublock for getting past paywalls
I keep coming back to Firefox cuz no other browser has as good of a dark mode addon as "dark background and light text"
Just uBlock.
Outside of already mentioned:
A user Agent switcher, saml tracer
tab group add ons
as an addon for all the others

uBlock Origin simply required. Dark Reader is nice to have but not required.
uBlock Origin and Dark Reader.
I use Privacy Badger to just help block trackers and stuff, I think Firefox has this built in though now
I miss Session Manager
What is it
uMatrix
Firefox Multi Account Containers
Video Speed Controller
Cookie AutoDelete
uMatrix is unfortunately discontinued. It's successor is uBlock origin. I learned that some month ago and switched fully to UBO.
There is an good article in the Github documentation from UBO, that can activate similar features like uMatrix.
