How Should I Set Up Privacy and Security on Firefox?

I am using Firefox v88 as my browser on a Windows 10 computer. What do you recommend I do in settings?Currently I have it set as strict - is this best? Should I also opt for https-only mode?On many websites I get a box inviting me to accept cookies where it is always easiest to click accept all rather than scrolling down…

Https is just doing on the browser side what the website or server should be doing anyway. All you're doing by forcing https in the settings is telling Firefox if it can't connect ask you what you want to do with a message that isn't particularly helpful (a lot of browser messages aren't particularly helpful, unfortunately) and it will break some sites.
