• browser.download.manager.retention = 1
• editor.singleLine.pasteNewlines = 2
• accessibility.typeaheadfind.enablesound = false
• dom.disable_window_move_resize = true

This has been streamlined quite a bit from my previous list, mostly due to feature consolidation of either Firefox or another add-on. A trip down memory lane to my really old list shows how far we've come with extensions!
