Comment:

 This media query is considered a System Metric by Firefox:

 https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-
 esr60/rev/dd52b41d2b775e5c7261ce52795268b7670635fc/layout/style/nsMediaFeatures.cpp#929

 and as such it is already blocked by privacy.resistFingerprinting:

 esr60/rev/dd52b41d2b775e5c7261ce52795268b7670635fc/layout/style/nsMediaFeatures.cpp#442

 So I believe this media query is already taken care of.
