Thanks for sharing this!

Some more addons I use:
1. HTTPS Everywhere – force-redirects to HTTPS on a list (whitelist) of known sites. Doesn't break much stuff. I think this is a must-have.
2. RequestPolicyContinued – can be configured to disable _all_ requests from any server but the page source host. This preference is pretty safe but breaks _lots_ and *lots* of pages. In contrast to uBlock Origin (which does blacklisting, same as AdBlock and other ad blockers) this addon can do whitelisting. Better protection, more sites break.
3. CanvasBlocker – blocks canvas elements used to track you.

More addons, not security-related:
* Config Descriptions – for heavy users of about:config

Video without flash:
I highly recommend you don't use any plugins in firefox, not only for security reasons but also for safety (crashers!) reasons. You won't need flash on many sites anyway.

You probably should disable search suggestions too, because due to correlations on your typing frequency you could be tracked even through "anonymizing" search engines like DuckDuckGo.

The Firefox-inside-VM sounds like [Qubes OS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qubes_OS) to me, maybe that's of interest for you. Since you're not saving any history at all, why don't you use the tor browser? It has some more very nice anti-tracking features btw.
