I'm using ublock0 of course. I tend not to install lots of other addons because it's difficult to evaluate them without a significant time investment. What is a good self-destructing cookie addon that preserves site logins?

Edit: While I'm here, Firefox should also provide an Android URL intent that opens links in a private tab.

I use this Firefox addon. It destroys cookies set by a tab when you close it, by default. You can turn it off selectively per-website, so it's easy to stay logged in when you want to be.

BetterPrivacy completely destroys Flash localstorage on close, which is important because SDC doesn't get them.

I can't imagine ever surfing the internet without blocking ads, javascript and cookies. There's just nothing to evaluate other than which plugin to perform those tasks.

"self-destructing cookies", on the desktop, lets you choose to destroy cookies 1) when you close the tab, 2) when you close the browser or 3) never. On android it's a toggle; presumably 1 and 3.

The android version of noscript is inexplicably named "noscript nsa". It has a bunch of options but I never fiddle with them. You can't install it via the usual firefox plugin system for reasons I don't understand, so instead you have to get it here:

https://noscript.net/nsa/

You want the link "Download NSA++ (NoScript 3.5 alpha)". It's been alpha for as long as I've been using it. A recent change to firefox means you probably have to use about:config to temporarily enable the installation of plugins from outside the official firefox plugin store thing.

Perhaps the developers are trying to demonstrate that you can't have security AND convenience.
