How do you use no script these days, are you turning it on after visiting a page, or whitelisting when things don't work?
I whitelist after visiting a page, if it breaks majorly so I can't use it. And often I only need to allow the main page's scripts and maybe video., img. or cdn. subdomains.
What's Karrinator?
There's nothing that explains it on its description page. Based on comments on its page (translated to English), my wild guess is: it's making people laugh while reading news somehow by changing names of politicians in the news articles.
Thanks for the other suggestions too.
Damn, I just noticed I accidentally wrote in german, I didn't even notice the post is in english lol. To Germans it would make sense, as it's exactly what you noticed; it just changes Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauers name to something funny, she's an ex-defense minister of Germany.
LOL.
Why specifically her though. Although, the idea is neat. Does it generate random funny names?

Is there anything that disables / stops sticky videos when scrolling on mobile?
I get pissed off when I'm reading a news article, scroll down, and their headline video (often just an ad) clips itself to the top 1/3 of the screen.

Tab Session Manager
uBlock Origin and Mouse Gestures.
Literally all I have ever used. I love mouse gestures so much because of Opera. I was using that for a bit before I discovered Firefox back in the day.

Tab Stash.
Some of these are specialized tools, but to start, I make big, big use of dedicated containers, Google, Amazon, Reddit, Pixiv, Tumblr, and Discord. Sidebar note, uBlock Origin, NoScript, Bypass Paywalls Clean, Container Sidebar, Downloads Sidebar, Get RSS Feed URL, Pixiv Toolkit, FediShare, Tumblr - Post to Tumblr, Twitter Gif & Video Downloader, and Video Downloadhelper
Lots of great extensions have been listed already, but here's one that I haven't seen mentioned yet and I really like: https://unhook.app/
Nice! UnHook removes YouTube recommended videos, related videos, comments, video suggestions wall, homepage recommendations, trending tab & comments
Others have already mentioned some excellent vertical tab add-ons, so I'll post Tabs Aside, which is a super convenient way to save and load a window full of tabs. Saves having like 20 windows open with different stuff you don't want to lose.
Neat, I'll try this. I don't think the others save entire browser windows. So, maybe this has a different use.
Firefox Multi-Account Containers:
sandbox tab containers to isolate sites.

There are definitely people who don't know what adblockers are and the beauty of uBlock.
The Internet is not the same without it.
And Google is trying very hard to break this gem.
