It always be unique, because it's randomly generated. But every visit will have a completely different unique value, which means that the fingerprint from the canvas is a useless value.

The setting in Firefox about:config privacy.resistFingerprinting includes mitigations for some canvas fingerprinting attacks. It's part of a push to bring into Firefox privacy features from the TOR project.

Could there be some way to randomize the canvas and audio fingerprints? An extension that obfuscates them in some sense by sending false signals?
Edit: Perhaps overloading the toDataURL() function to add random noise. https://browserleaks.com/canvas#how-does-it-work
