Additional useful pieces are Skip Redirects and Smart Referer. And enabling First Party protection in about:config, plus perhaps Facebook Container.

Against anti-adblock, Nano Defender is the thing. (There's an uBlock Origin mode in that.)

I like the idea of Skip Redirects and Smart Referer, but I feel they aren't worth the risk.

They're not popular extensions (11K and 6K users respectively) and aren't being reviewed by Mozilla. I'm certainly not going to review them myself, and I see no reason to trust their developers and their personal security practices.

I've found EasyList + "uBlock filters – Unbreak" to be sufficient in eliminating anti-adblock warnings.

Are these options in firefox or addons? Would you mind explaining what they do and why they're useful?
