If your browser blocks ads, but websites don’t see that it is, then that’s actually a good thing. As long as these features are actually working, then this is beneficial to keeping your fingerprint from becoming unique. It’s hard to have a non-unique fingerprint without the Tor browser.
In all of my browser usage, uBlock has never shown up as “Adblock enabled” on a fingerprint test for me. Maybe it takes steps to prevent being detected?

The only browser which actually made improvements to mitigate fingerprint is Tor Browser. It’s basically make all users look the same thus making fingerprint way more difficult. If you need protection against that form of tracking you don’t have other choice. Also, IceRaven it’s just a fork of Firefox which doesn’t lag behind updates. Therefore, it’s highly recommended stay away of it. If you don’t want telemetry then disable it through about:config in Firefox.
If you are looking for privacy and security, Bromite is a good mixture. Way more secure than any gecko base browser.

some thing went wrong i think
What website did you use to test your browser fingerprint?
I think taking more measures to hide your fingerprint will actually make you more unique and you will probably standout more.
