Luckily, I am scum idiot lowlife that gives back to the group, 
and who answers each question, and who politely responds to 
each issue, without ever getting angry or insulting anyone.

Here is the current summary, based on everyone's kind input, such as yours, 
for lowering the entropy as reported by panopticlick.eff.org.

1. User Agent
2. HTTP_ACCEPT Headers
3. Browser Plugin Details
4. Time Zone
5. Screen Size and Color Depth
6. System Fonts
7. Are Cookies Enabled?
8. Limited supercookie test

1. Panopticlick User Agent entropy:
SecretAgent extension https://www.dephormation.org.uk
UserAgentSwitcher extension http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher

2. Panopticlick HTTP_ACCEPT Headers entropy:
RandomAgentSpoofer extension https://github.com/dillbyrne/random-agent-spoofer

3. Panopticlick Browser Plugin Details entropy:
Extensions are OK but do NOT add Plug-ins (which will affect entropy)

4. Panopticlick TimeZone entropy:
This pops up Panopticlick.eff.org with a different time zone:
$ TZ=CET-1 firefox -url panopticlick.eff.org &
$ TZ=UTC+08:00 firefox -url panopticlick.eff.org &
$ TZ=UTC+5 firefox -url panopticlick.eff.org &

5. Panopticlick Screen Size & Color Depth entropy:
Too bad xrandr can only increase the size of the display (not decrease it):
$ xrandr --output DISPLAY --fb 1366x768

6. Panopticlick System Fonts entropy:
NoScript extension extension https://noscript.net

$ locate fonts.dir
(remove any oddball directory that is not generally found)

7. Panopticlick Are Cookies Enabled? entropy:
Self-Destructing Cookies https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies

8. Panoptoclick Limited supercookie test entropy:
Foundstone HTML5 Local Storage Explorer http://www.foundstone.com
