Tor is off the table for me because it’s so slow. If you can point to some test sites or documentation that supports your choice, please include!

I’ve tested this on Debian and roughly:

This has been my experience as well. What tweaks are you making to default librewolf?
Technically, the best way to blend in is to avoid changing the behaviour much from the default. I would still advise the below settings because they do improve your security, and anti-fingerprinting against naive first-party fingerprinting scripts (all 3rd party scripts/iframes should be blocked, see below: uBlock Medium/Hard). If you need protection against advanced fingerprinting use Tor/Mullvad browser.
uBlock:
Change uBlock blocking mode to Medium or Hard using the instructions on their Github wiki. Can cause site breakage on shitty websites (eg sites that import large JS libraries from remote sources). It is a substantial improvement over default, see the wiki for medium mode: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode
Enable filterlist
Privacy>Block Outside Intrusion to LAN
(Access to LAN is used to fingerprint or by threat actors during reconnaissance phase of hacking)Consider enabling other filterlists included in uBlock. Try to minimize enabling extra lists from the default to avoid further fingerprinting.
Librewolf:
Enable limiting of referrers under
LibreWolf Preferences>Privacy>Limit cross-origin referers
Enable letterboxing under
LibreWolf Preferences>Fingerprinting>Enable letterboxing
Neptr covered it better than I could’ve. I also added privacy badger though I’m not sure that does anything🤷
The more plugins you add, the more unique you become, just FYI.
