Comment:

 I've changed the description of the ticket to better capture your idea. I
 am not convinced yet we should do that but maybe others have some
 different opinions here. I think instead we should focus our little
 resources we have to make sure changes settings does not help (much)
 fingerprinting you.

 E.g regarding the bookmark bar issue, Mozilla is currently working on a
 technique called letterboxing by dynamically rounding your window
 dimensions which should make the bookmark bar problem moot.
