I wonder why it got my GPU wrong, maybe that is a Firefox protection, or maybe just an error. It said Radeon R9 200 Series, way older than my current card
That’s part of the tracking protection. You still need to tell that you do have a GPU, for various reasons (hardware acceleration, etc.), so it provides a generic one, the same for everyone, so it cannot be used for tracking.

Firefox do fake your GPU model, yes.
