Especially ones that you find useful on android Firefox, as they seem to be less popular?

Recently got to know about bookmarklets due to a thread here in this community itself:
https://lemm.ee/comment/12623456
^An unrelated question: Is there some way to link comments so that they are automatically opened in home instances for eveyone, like how we can link communities and usernames currently?^

Some interesting/useful bookmarklets that I know of:

Bullshit.js as mentioned in that link
dotepub. It does say that data is sent to their server.
For some sites it's better than the inbuilt save as pdf option.
A bookmarklet that opens the current site in G-translate
Saw a bookmarklet which works like reader mode.

The freecodecamp article on bookmarklets maybe useful for those new to it(It helped me). It seems cool.
https://wiki.greasespot.net/User_Script_Hosting links to sources for userscripts. Most of them seem to be desktop-centric.

Which are your favorites? Any cool ones that you have made on your own?

Don'tF With Paste recovers your ability to paste into inputs on sites that forbid it

Love those websites that care so much about security that they prevent you to use a password manager

The most used one I have is Kill-Sticky. Works well but annoying to have to click my bookmarklet every time I visit a stackexchange site now with the google login crap AND the cookie banner. Else I can't read the actual damn content of the site.

The most convenient userscript for me is this one that automatically likes YouTube videos. It's configurable to be able to: like the video after a specified watch percentage, ignore already disliked videos, only like videos from subscribed channels, and ignore livestreams. I like it enough that I've made a few pull requests to fix it when YouTube changes their UI.

When I have the time, I work on an in-progress local version to implement a few new features including: (1) Support for the YouTube shorts UI. (2) An option for a notification/toast to appear when the video has been liked. (3) An option to check the watch percentage continuously (mutation observer) instead of a user-defined poll rate which sometimes misses liking very short videos in playlists. Eventually I'd like to port something like this as a YouTube ReVanced patch.

I did a quick user script with Tampermonkey to search torrents links from torrents-csv.com of movies when I'm navigating to themoviedb.org . Not sure I can share it but it was really fun to develop and really useful for me.

Isn’t yt-dlp easier? Just a thought, not to be rude or mean.
