On a related note, does Firefox implement something like Safari's "Intelligent Tracking Prevention"[0] that times out third-party cookies? Advertisers seem to be mad[1], so they must be doing something right.

You can only piss off advertisers so much before webpage owners stop supporting your browser and Mozilla is already pissing off advertisers in many ways. Especially compared to Chrome which is worth supporting more due to its oversized market share, too.
