Here's one they missed: do not resize your window! If you do, your browser instance has a potential to have a unique viewport size and hence, there's a probability you can be tracked. Whatever size window Tor opens, do not re-size it.

I do not use Tor myself but few years ago I've analyzed an anonymized data site and was amazed how easy it was, with a high degree of probability, to track someone just based on screen resolution + viewport size (i.e. size of your browser window). Almost every viewport size was unique (when correlated with screen resolution).
