Does it make sense to have either or both of Cryptominers or Fingerprinters enabled in Mozilla browsers:

... with uBO in use with these Filter lists?

Code:
 "selectedFilterLists": [
    "user-filters",
    "ublock-filters",
    "ublock-badware",
    "ublock-privacy",
    "ublock-quick-fixes",
    "ublock-unbreak",
    "easylist",
    "easyprivacy",
    "urlhaus-1",
    "plowe-0",
    "ublock-annoyances",

This is the "Pro" setup from yokoffing Github site.

I see no reason why you'd disable them. It's not going to make a difference in your browsing speed or conflict with your filter lists.

As @oldschool said, there is no harm in keeping them enabled. On Firefox, uBO is prioritized over Firefox's built-in rules. So, in case, uBO doesn't block something that would get blocked by Firefox. It's the other way around for chromium based browser's built-in privacy features.

uBlock Origin 1.57.2 released on GitHub:
This is an emergency release to fix an issue causing differential updates to fail. The issue primarily affected Firefox because of uBO's use of indexedDB prior to 1.57.0. The issue did not affect full update of filter lists even though the asset viewer would show old versions of those lists (internally uBO compiles lists and would still correctly compile from lists fetched by full updater).

This release also contains translation work, so I will also publish an update to Chrome Web Store despite the issue not affecting Chromium-based browsers.

Fixes / changes​

I'll consider later if I'm going to upload the code again on some GitHub alternative.

Please not that the download link he mentions is no longer available. The filter list is no longer updated but still usable at least in my experience.
