Comment (by Rick):

 From the moment I read it, I knew it was the DPI setting (fuzzy memory).
 **Both 7.5.6 and 9.0a1 didn't resize properly with a custom DPI setting.**
 There were some patterns to the deviations, but I think these values alone
 may create a unique fingerprint.

 I didn't test and write down all combinations, but I did a lot (not sure
 if there is any value to those notes).

 I found 3 exceptions when testing 9.0a1 @150% DPI.
 With enabled Titlebar + Normal or Compact Density: 1000x600
 With enabled Titlebar, Menubar, and Touch Density: 1000x500

 Otherwise it is just combinations of DPI and UI elements somehow creating
 different values of +- a few pixels.
 Only DPI at 100% without the Bookmarks Toolbar delivered correct results on
 9.0a1.
