The one video I saw suggested running this betterfox.js file or some more elaborate ones. Is that really necessary?
Or are there just some settings that I should change?
(Already run ublock origin if that matters.)

People tend to speak about hardened Firefox as a separate entity because, unlike some other browsers that come with default privacy out of the box, Firefox requires you to change some settings beforehand. However it’s worth noting that a lot of this stuff is extremely quick and easy to do and you don’t have to make the advanced changes if they are too confusing. You don’t have to use a fork of Firefox either; the default browser is a very good option if you take 5 minutes to set it up and retains QoL features like sync that some forks remove.
What are the settings you recommend?
This is an easy to follow and straight to the point guide.
