We actually do support the -moz-device-pixel-ratio CSS media query. There
are legitimate use cases for that.

Most of the use cases for script access to the exact device pixel ratio that
I've heard boil down to "interfere with the user's ability to zoom", which
is why I haven't been eager to make it easier.
