If you've already read through this and understand what it means and are still worried about your privacy, I would recommend you switch to LibreWolf - it takes all the best practices of hardening Firefox for security and works out of the box. Unfortunately, this means you can't play certain videos, it doesn't auto-update, and some - likely many - websites will break/not work. This is the price to pay for true privacy. If you don't want that, just keep using Firefox.

I've been using Librewolf for years and pages not working are extremely rare.

That and the pages that don't work are trying to force a fingerprinting/tracking technique you shouldn't want to allow anyways.

Or they use WebGL. I keep a chromium install just for that.
