Does my browser unblock 3rd parties that promise to honor DNT? Would I want it to? How would I instruct it to do so?
I discovered Panopticclick, and had it run a test on my computer, the results came back good except for it states this: Does your browser unblock 3rd parties that promise to honor Do Not Track? ✗ no Does your browser protect from fingerprinting? ✗ No, your browser has a nearly-unique fingerprint. 1) I would like to know why my browser does not unblock 3rd parties that promise to honor DNT? 2) Would I want my browser to unblock 3rd parties? 3) if your answer to Q2 is yes, then how do I do that? 4) Do I want my browser to protect from finger printing? 5) if your answer is yes to Q3, then how do I instruct my browser to do so?

1) I would like to know why my browser does not unblock 3rd parties that promise to honor DNT?
I'm not sure what Panopticlick means here. Does Firefox have a list of approved trackers that are allowed to track because of a commitment not to track? It sounds a bit like a contradiction.
I think Mozilla's emphasis is on blocking of known trackers through the Content Blocking feature. If you have Tracking Protection enabled, Firefox also will sent a DNT signal indicating that you prefer not to be tracked. It's hard to think of a case where you would want to not send that signal if Tracking Protection is enabled. Or how those would work together.
2) Would I want my browser to unblock 3rd parties?
Sounds like a question you are in the best position to answer. ;-)
3) if your answer to Q2 is yes, then how do I do that?
To manage Content Blocking, see: Content blocking.
4) Do I want my browser to protect from finger printing?
In a perfect world, yes.
5) if your answer is yes to Q3, then how do I instruct my browser to do so?
(Q4, I assume) Firefox has a feature to block known sources of fingerprinting scripts. See the above link. There's also a preference that causes Firefox to take some information about your browser, but I don't recommend it because in my view, it causes more problems than it solves.

For Addon issues that has to be direct to the those developers to resolve their issues with the browser.
