devtools/server/tests/mochitest/test_css-logic-specificity.html fails because stylo and gecko use different algorithm to calculate specificity.

It seems the difference is that, in Gecko, each level of specificity uses 8bits [1], while in Stylo, each level uses 10bits [2].

I guess we can probably change Gecko's behavior (as well as devtools') in this case.

FWIW it might be nicer to write these constant values in the test in hex, then it would be easier to confirm by eye that they make sense.

Previously, probably yes it would be more readable in hex, but now it may not be that case... If we can use some base32 representation, that would be readable again :)
