on Chromium and Chrome there's a nice feature to block third party cookies. For obvious reason, it's not enabled by default but it's there and doesn't affect the performances.
At the end of the day whatever we do, a browser is still a browser, beeing safe from trackers would mean:
1. trick the browser fingerprinting techniques to generate different crap on every run
2. lobby browser vendors (including Firefox) not to reveal information about your laptop (cpu, screen resolution, ...). I'm trying to find a legit use case to know about how many core you have available when js can only use 1 or information on your screen when the only thing that matter is already inside the window object.
3. dynamically update your user agent (if you purelly get rid of it, services like google map won't work)
4. hiding your ip behind a VPN/proxy or rotating your ip
and probably a lot of other things I have no idea about. I don't want to be the devil lawyer but as for now, Firefox isn't doing a good job at what they claim doing. Just proposing a tinny thing they haven't done: ask for user permission when a website try to access hardware related information

In my Firefox I have an option in Preferences :
Accept third-party cookies and site data: Always/From visited/Never
Is this the one you are talking about in Chrome? Because in that case it very much exists in Firefox as well.
