If I tried twice and I got a unique id both times, does it mean Firefox is covering my track ?

Idk, but I have the same. Scrolling through the tracking methods the only ones with high uniqueness were hash of canvas fingerprint and hash of webGL for me. According to it I still have strong protection Firefox + ublock on mobile though

if it ran the test again, I'd say yes. but if it just reloads the result page, doesn't mean anything
