 closed, as this ticket contains the results of investigation).

 Well, the investigation is not over, there is still the CSS case and the
 things we wanted to study (large amount of variability) which is why I
 duped it the way I did. That said I don't feel so strongly that I'd start
 duping this over again but I think we should make sure that a fix we
 provide for this particular PoC catches all the other DPI-spoofing-is-
 broken-scenarios, too.

 Some relevant resources from #8076:

 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/resolution
 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564815 (the devicePixelRatio
 bug)

 Oh, and while I am at it: the issue is visible with a default Tor Browser
 without messing with the zoom at all (which is why I changed the summary
 and raised the priority).
