My suggestions:
Turn on UAC, no harm at all its your first defense that you are aware on program execution.
In case of problem in Firefox, add a backup browser like Opera alongside of extensions of Adguard and HTTPS Everywhere.
You don't need a lot of extensions as it will cause problem to the browser.

Hello again, one more demo, and thank you for sharing your set up.
Recently, I added a non-Administrator account to our Windows 8.1 system, and UAC which I've set to default is something I strongly recommend. It's a built-in protection which (like speed limits) reminds you (even when you'd rather not be bothered by the reminder) that changes made to your system should only be done that you desire. Advanced level users especially need reminding too!
Among your Add-on extensions for your Mozilla based browser which I find essential, and you may not already have,
Sandboxie was among the first 'tips' I'd received here, & is an effective way of isolating infections by opening your browser inside of a sandbox: http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?DownloadSandboxie <links> on the right of the download page include reviews, a video, and tutorials, which explain more.
I still almost always use it except times I update or make setting changes I wish to keep.
Thanks for sharing & listening too!
PS A free back up solution I'm looking forward to trying is from Nippon (Japan), and is called Aomei. Have you tried or heard of it?

- HTTPS Everywhere encrypts your http web pages to https: https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere
- The Adblocker I've switched to from ABP is called uBlock. Read about & download it here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock/
- LastPass manages passwords by utilizing encryption security: www.lastpass.com <click> on "Install Free"

Have you tried or heard of it?Can i ask u Guys why u all suggest https everywhere? All banking/payment and big sites use SSL as standart these days. there is realy no need for https everywhere. its an outdated extension.

A lot websites still using http and this communication can hackers see.
well,it cant switch to https if websites dosnt support ssl encrytion. if a website have https(ssl) but use at default http only than the extension switch to https.and all sites i know that have ssl use it as default. i dont see any reason to use this extension.

Enable UAC
CCleaner or privazer if not already installed
Consider one or two more on demand scanners
Consider uBlock in place of ABD in FF and over 30 extensions is a lot I would consider on removing some of them also

Hello @Janl92l.
Your points reflect both fact and opinions discussed further on other threads; but keeping it on topic for the benefit of @one more demo -san's configuration, an exceptional add-on extension I'll offer indicates the strength of https sites. It is called SSleuth https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ssleuth/?src=ss..and enables users to observe & rate sites while expanding the development of their own common sense to their benefit.
