There's two categories or buckets here if you're playing to win; One is
a list of extensions you can install on *anyone's* computer without them
even noticing the privacy/security boost they're receiving (because if
they notice, you lose because they blame the new *ware for all their
trivial problems). The other list is the power-user stuff that really
works, but which n00bs will reject out of ignorance, blaming the
protective software instead of the buggy websites it exposes.
My short-list for install-on-everyone's-computer is:
* Disconnect
* HTTPS-Everywhere
* uBlock Origin (don't change default settings)
* Disable 3rd Party Cookies
NoScript, Cookie-killers, RequestPolicy etcetera are too prone to
creating problems for browser users; to an enlightened user, blame the
website, work around, or make an exception and move on. But to a n00b,
exposing errors in tracker-rich sites is unacceptable, sadly.

I wonder, is there an A-list of must-have extensions for Firefox? Because
"the internet is for porn," and porn doesn't work on text-only browsers...
NoScript, RequestPolicy, RefControl, CookieMonster, policeman,
https-everywhere, monkeysphere, RedirectCleaner, CertPatrol|Convergence,
BetterPrivacy, random-agent-spoofer, ssleuth
And PrivacyBadger, I might add.
Also, Self-Destructing Cookies is an interesting one, as while CookieMonster
allows you to keep track of which sites can or cannot set cookies, that's
for-session granularity. Self-Destructing Cookies destroys cookies after a set
time after closing a given tab. I use both.
And if you're into this kind of stuff, Lightbeam. Just for shits and giggles.
