Sure, to some degree you must trust your browser. In the extreme case you could open a new, non-persistent browser session for every page you visit. Could be slightly inconvenient...

Or you could have 2 (or 3) separate browser sessions, one for only important stuff, and one for fun.
Or Firefox containers.
Not sure how that partitions the files on disk though, would probably need some code changes to work with some kind of firejail setup.

This is seamless on Qubes OS: You just click a link and a new empty VM with Firefox opens. You close the browser, and the VM is destroyed. Can't recommend it enough.
Not really sure that’s safe. There has been at least 1 Qubes OS specific VM escapes this year and 2 KVM guest->host control ones.
There were only two VM escapes from Qubes OS in the last 20 years [0]. How is this not sufficiently secure?
