Install uBlock Origin - that should be straight-forward, if a bit
unintuitive on recent Firefox versions, unless there's something odd
about Firefox for Raspbian.  Click the 4-horizontal-lines icon at the
left of the title bar, select Extensions and pick uBlock Origin from the
list.

FWIW I'm running FireFox on this Lenovo laptop and have uBlock Origin,
Cookie Autodelete, Ghostery and PKC11 Loader installed. uBlock Origin and
Ghostery might look like similar tools, but I remember having reasons for
installing both: their capacities aren't a total overlap.

On a slower system than this thing (Lenovo T440 with a 1.9GHz i5 and 8GB
RAM) a better combo is probably uBlock Origin plus Cookie Autodelete
because there's little or no capability  overlap, or just install Ghostery
by itself and see it that does enough to keep you ad-free and tracker-
free.
