Release Note Request (optional, but appreciated) for the gradual rollout in Fx160
[Why is this notable]: Improving anti-fingerprinting coverage on Android. This is the same as bug 2032123, but for android. The prior release notes on desktop.
[Affects Firefox for Android]: only android, not desktop
[Suggested wording]: Firefox rolls out stronger protection against fingerprinting in Standard Enhanced Tracking Protection, making it harder for websites to track you across sites by limiting the amount of information revealed about your device and browser.
