Firefox pushes the Firefox Home screen as the default whenever you open a new tab. There's nothing particularly wrong about that, but it does come with some unnecessary sponsored content, which you can get rid of. To do this, go to the Firefox settings, by clicking the three-lines icon in the top-right corner of an open Firefox window window and selecting Settings. Now, click the Home tab in the left pane and scroll to Firefox Home Content. Disable Support Firefox to remove sponsored content, and toss in remove Shortcuts if you prefer a cleaner look over quick links to commonly visited sites. My home screen just has Web Search enabled, which looks good with a nice wallpaper.
Use the built-in task manager

You can open any webpage in Firefox and use the built-in screenshot tool to take a quick picture of the webpage you're on. This is the fastest way to take a full-page screenshot without throwing in the rest of your screen, or to capture just a small section of a webpage. Just right-click anywhere on a webpage and select Take Screenshot. You'll see both options (capture a selected part of the page, or the full page), and you can pick one to take a quick screenshot.
Disable unwanted AI features
General > Tabs and disable Use AI to suggest tabs and a name for tab groups.
Stop Firefox's data collection (and generally protect your privacy)

Privacy & Security > HTTPS-Only Mode, just toggle on Enable HTTPS-Only Mode in all windows. The browser will handle the rest.
For even more privacy, try out advanced about:config tweaks.
Privacy & Security > Permissions. Click Location and select Block new requests to access your location. While you're there, you can click through the available options and turn on other blocks, too. You can use these to block notification requests and autoplaying videos. Some sites may still use special tricks to bypass autoplay blocks, but it doesn't hurt to make them work for it.
Install a few good extensions (but don't overdo it)
Credit: Pranay ParabThere are many pros and a few cons to using an adblocker, but it's a recommended tool these days, both to protect your privacy and to stay safe from scams. A good ad blocker will remove unwanted junk from webpages, block trackers, and speed up browsing. I've been using uBlock Origin for a decade now, and it's still the one I recommend most to everyone who asks. Once the extension is installed, you should tweak a few advanced uBlock Origin settings to make the most of it.
Consider using vertical tabs
General > Browser Layout. Pick Vertical Tabs and enjoy.
