What are good Firefox extensions? I've only used ublock origin (which is already available)

Consent-o-matic automatically answers cookie pop-ups for you, so saves heaps of time. It also works fine on mobile if you load it into Firefox nightly with a custom collection.

does it accept all cookies or only necessary cookies?

By default it refuses everything, you can set it to accept different kinds of cookies though. I set it to accept functional cookies for example.

Sponsorblock is another great one (provided it works on mobile).

Stylus is really cool for CSS overrides

Can you give an example of when CSS override would be useful?

Changing the look of a website. Remove elements you don't like while formatting the rest in a more pleasant style.

In addition to what jayandp said, it can also be useful to correct some "bugs" if you know your way around CSS. For example something I really hate about the default Lemmy themes is that they stretch the videos to the full width of the page, so I made a CSS override to fix that:

video {
    width: 25vw !important;
}
