Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
It takes nearly as long to decrapify a new Firefox install as it does to compile Librewolf.
Install uBlock.
Tell Firefox that you don't want to sync at the moment.
Disable "sponsored" stories. AKA, listicles designed to draw in idiots who want to see which 8 child actors from the 90s turned out to be the tallest. Alarmingly close to the tacky crap that you might see on a fresh Windows install.
Tell Firefox that you don't want to sync at the moment.
Now disable Pocket. Remembering to go into about:config to really disable it
Disable telemetry.
Tell Firefox that you don't want to sync at the moment.
Remove Amazon, Bing, et al. from the search engine list.
Remove "suggested" and "sponsored" autocomplete.
Tell Firefox that you don't want to sync at the moment.
Remind yourself that, despite this crap, Firefox is still a better browser than any Chromium knockoff.
Sync between mobile and Firefox is good though. Sadly I use Samsung Internet on Android because I think it's better, but when I used Firefox on both it was really good. I can still use KDE Connect to send the link to my clipboard, but it doesn't always connect (after a reboot) automatically.
Samsung internet is chromium and often out of date. On Android, use Fennec or Mull (both firefox based, mull is the best security*/privacy android browser)
