Build ID: 20171129230227

Steps to reproduce:

Ubuntu 17.10, FF 57, Wayland, 4k laptop display (main display) with a scaling of 2, 2k external displays.


Actual results:

I have a 4K laptop which I regularly connect to 1080 or 720p monitors. Firefox scales correctly on the HiDPI monitor, but looks twice as big on the lower DPI monitor.

Gnome will correctly scale other GTK applications according to the screen they're on.




Expected results:

Firefox should re-scale itself when moved from a HiDPI display to a lower DPI display as all other gnome applications do.
