I'd install Bitdefender TrafficLight and uBlock Origin at default settings.

If they are on Windows 10 use WD as the AV and add UBlock Origin as an adblocker.

uB0 might be too aggressive (depends on the filters of course) so Adguard might be a better alternative.
With Adguards malware protection filters Bitdefender TL will be obsolete.

Bitdefender is the best at finding phishing sites, and adblocker filters are most of the time really REALLY bad at finding malicous sites

I don't know if it's the best but the request was to create hassle free setup and adding another extension might create more hassle.
Don't forget that Firefox has built-in phishing and malware protection: How does built-in Phishing and Malware Protection work? | Firefox Help

Why Firefox?
New Edge make more sense. Use that with AdGuard from Microsoft and finish.

Kaspersky Security Cloud free seemed really good at blocking sites and also has above average protection.I agree adblockers don't offer much protection.

in my opinion, use WD and Edge or chrome with AdGuard as simple if the family is not tech thats safe your family visit social media and simple news? no download anything? online movies?

If your AV has poor web filtering and they insist on FF then this setup with default filters or modified, smaller filterlists (e.g Adguard filters instead of EasyList and Easy Privacy.) Or BDTL and Adguard.

Or this ...

... or this, if your AV has good web filtering, e.g. Kaspersky, BD, etc + Adguard or µBO.

Any of the above solutions and you shouldn't have to worry!

Windows Defender with ConfigureDefender set to High, uBlock Origin at default settings, TrafficLight extension. This should be good enough and shouldn't be a hassle for you to set up because you just have to set this once and forget.
