Not exactly Tor implementation, but you might be interested in Canvas Blocker's implementation of the screen resolution, which I personally prefer. It may make some photos not work though.

CanvasBlocker is ready for Firefox on Android and was available before Fenix. But in Fenix they only allow a small set. You can help to get CanvasBlocker part of this list by suggesting it to the recommended programm (https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/553).

It still doesn't make you safe from being tracked, it only makes you harder to track through fingerprinting and there are other methods to track you as well. A similar extension is also available for other browsers.
