It looks like DNT is turned on automatically if tracking protection is on, so it probably doesn't identify you any more than "a Firefox browser with tracking protection on".
I just tested. With standard settings for "Content Blocking" (under "Privacy and Security") and "Only when Firefox is set to block known trackers" selected, Firefox does not send the DNT header in regular windows. It only sends it in private windows. Therefore if you don't want to stand out, you should not enable DNT.
Indeed. If you don’t want to stand out, you should use the defaults. Anything non-default will stick out as a 1%-or-less marker. Three or more non-default might well uniquely fingerprint you.
