One further thought.... If you're new to Firefox, are you aware of 
LibreWolf? That one advertises itself as highly privacy-enhanced.

I haven't looked at at in detail, and I haven't seen whether it's a true 
fork of Firefox, with its own coding differences, or if it's just 
Firefox, with prefs set to maximum privacy (including bundling of 
several privacy-related extensions).  My impression is that the settings 
are strict enough that it breaks sites, enough that it takes loosening 
the settings in order to be able to use, especially for general-purpose use.

Before you get too far into building your own, see what LibreWolf is 
doing, either things you want do in your own work, or for things that 
they do that you may not have considered.
