To my knowledge Librewolf spoofs useragent to Windows by default
Useragent doesn't do much as your browser navigator settings expose the real OS
It does as well as setting your locale to en-us, timezone to utc and giving random output from canvas every time.
Edit: You can also enable a fixed size for you window. More precisely the area which is visible to content (and also to javascript). https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#what-are-the-most-common-downsides-of-rfp-resist-fingerprinting
Oh I have noticed the timezone change, some websites were misbehaving because of it
It can still tell you're on Linux via WebGL
It seems to me with JavaScript it doesn't work
