You really don't need anything besides uBlock Origin. With that said:

Your password manager's extension would be convenient.
LibRedirect is great so that any social links get redirected to privacy-respecting frontends.
Dark Reader to save your eyes.

About some other ones that are mentioned:

ClearURLs is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to remove the tracking parameters.
Bypass Paywalls Clean is not necessary if you configure uBlock Origin to replicate this functionality.

Other:

Firefox Multi-Account Contains is good for managing accounts.
Temporary Containers is also good for isolating tabs.

IIRC, Privacy Badger and Decentraleyes are no longer necessary with uBlock Origin. Neither is HTTPS Everywhere.
