I have enabled the resistFingerprinting in my firefox about:config settings and this technique no longer seems to work on me.

The only downside is that verifying ReCaptcha takes me around a minute to solve.

Wouldn't that just put you in the "no fingerprint" category? Presumably fairly few people use such techniques, so couldn't that make you more trackable, not less?
I was not aware this was available, thank you! It appears to work on the mobile version of Firefox as well.
One big downside in that I've experienced is that everything is now defaulted to 100% zoom and I now manually have to adjust zoom levels.
