Comment:

 window.screen uses nsDeviceContext internally.

 It appears as though CSS does too, in layout/style/nsMediaFeatures.cpp.

 However, we are probably better off just hacking nsMediaFeatures and
 window.screen to behave properly.

 There is a nice array in nsMediaFeatures::features where it looks like we
 can just change the entries there. In general, we'll want to change all
 the device-related properties to be the same as their window equivalents.
 However, this is some extra fun wrt the mozilla extensions.. We'll want to
 pick custom values for those.

 All-in-all I don't think this one should be too hard either. I think the
 hacks will actually be easier than those for #2872. Perhaps a day of
 hacking and a half day of testing on a couple different platforms, or some
 mix thereof.
