dpi/scaling issues in firefox

Several months ago after a system upate, firefox started to display blocky fonts and scale elements incorrectly. I have since performed a clean install on the same system without re-using any configuration files, but the issues persist. Using the xf86-video-ati drivers, with bspwm and the infinality-bundle.

screenshots

$ xdpyinfo | grep -B2 resolution
screen #0:
  dimensions:    1366x768 pixels (361x203 millimeters)
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch
  true dimensions:    1366x768 pixels (257x146 millimeters)
  true resolution:    136 ppi

Following the Display/DPI suggestions on the Xorg wiki page results in scaling changes without getting any closer to displaying correctly. I have also disabled bitmap fonts. As shown in the screenshots, using my own font choices on pages instead of web fonts renders clean, anti-aliased fonts but does not help with the scaling issues.

I modify layout.css.devPixelsPerPx key to manually set scaling value, since FF always runs like on 96 dpi for me.

Why isn't 136 being picked up? Or is it being overridden back to 96 by some dumb window-manager?

Anyway, these days I use:

xrandr --dpi 120

At the *start* of ~/.xinitrc

However, I do *not* use an xorg login manager.

And in firefox's about:config, layout.css.dpi is set to -1.
