Let me recommend a second browser. As I see you have Firefox, it would be good to have Google Chrome or another based on it (my favorites are SlimJet and Cent).
HTTPS Everywhere and LastPass extensions are very useful
Very good config. Thanks for sharing :)

Very good config :)

Why no backup?
OS Firewall: Other Firewall (3rd Party).. Kaspersky? because your real-time protection is Kaspersky AV
Oh sorry, I meant to keep the firewall as Enabled.

EDIT:
Firewall - Enabled.

Thanks for sharing your config. Do not really see anything I could add to your config, since it has all basics covered. Yes you can go the extra mile and toss in an Anti executable solution, additional extensions etc, but unless you really need it and are comfortable with it, your current config is good as it is and light.

Good configuration at all, although as other mentioned, you must consider to have backup software where your security products will just fail in a matter of time you use. ;)
