In Firefox, the about:config setting:
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

1.25 is looking sane at the moment. I didn't realize it'd take a
non-integer. 2 is huge and worse than the -1 default.
Unfortunately, GTK applications are limited to scalefactors of 1 or 2 so
you're stuck with Large Text, gnome-tweak-tool's font scaling factor, or
setting font sizes directly in gnome-tweak-tool.
Large Text is working OK.
But the actual question here is, why isn't this better out of the box?
And is there some threshold at which a display is considered hidpi and
it *is* better out of the box for those, and I was just at the cutoff.
