I'll start: Opening new tabs all the way to the right or bottom, rather than next to the current tab. Its especially disorienting on vertical tabs, I lose track of which (I changed the setting but its still annoying on blank Firefox profiles).

"Multi-account containers" is an extension built by Firefox themselves, but you need to install it manually. It allows you to open tabs that are effectively separate "profiles" so that you can sign into sites with different accounts. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

There's also ‘Temporary Containers’ that builds on the ‘multi-account containers’ to make essentially incognito tabs that are tabs instead of a window, can create several separate incognito tabs at once, and remain there after restarting the browser. (And can be converted into a permanent container.)

At one point I had a long-running incognito session on YouTube in these tabs to listen to some old music and not pollute the recommendations on my main account. Containers are dope as hell.
