I know you already linked to my suggestions, but here's the Firefox
setup I have (I use Tor Browser 90% of the time, but like to have a good
FF setup so that I'm prepared to answer questions about it for more
basic users who aren't ready for Tor):

Starting with all of these settings, which stops saved form info and 3rd
party cookies and all of that by default:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox/privacy-and-security

Privacy Badger
Disconnect (includes Disconnect Search, but DDG works just as well and
has a toolbar extension too)
uBlock (better than Adblock Plus but that works too)
HTTPS Everywhere
Better Privacy (only for LSO/Flash cookies, so if you can't get people
to delete Flash...)
Lightbeam
Terms of Service; Didn't Read

I don't have NoScript on FF cause I've tried to keep it to "easy/basic
user stuff".
