(Keywords: dpi)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:127.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/127.0

Steps to reproduce:

Provide an optional relative override for the GUI scale for firefox.

Actual results:

layout.css.devPixelsPerPx works great if you have a static desktop, or a system that dose not change it's DPI settings: It freezes it at the scale-factor you prefer, however it is absolute, not relative, meaning that those with multi-monitor setups or those who change between a laptop and external monitor with different scaling ratios, firefox dose not update dynamically.

Expected results:

A user who prefers a smaller UI, or a larger UI should be able to set a relative override in the same manner that they can set the web-page-zoom in a relative manner.
