Not sure about with Firefox's built in tracker protection. But I recall reading that having ad/tracker blocking could actually make a user easier to uniquely identify, because the browser now behaves differently than most: https://panopticlick.eff.org/about. My hope would be that built-in tracker will make ad-blocking browser traffic more ubiquitous.
