Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.11; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0

Steps to reproduce:

Preferences => Privacy Security => Content blocking / Custom: I enable to block Fingerprinters

Actual results:

I check this on different online sites, if possible with real trackers, e.g. Panopticlick from the EFF... they all report: "your browser has a unique fingerprint"

Expected results:

to have not a unique fingerprint you have to block much more information (why do you still send a list of fints?) or standardisiere some information (when the window is between 800x600 and 1024x768 only send the one next to this, but not the real resolution!)
