Non of those links contradict what I said.

So once again:

1) Firefox high dpi support works pretty well already if configured
correctly (also stated in one of your bugs);

 "Perhaps.  But a gtk2 build works pretty well on my high DPI laptop
running Fedora 20."

2) To configure it correctly we just need to set one value
3) We already compute the desired value and export it through xsettings
4) Reading an x settings value is not rocket science

Which part is wrong? None.

Where did I state this is the only issue?

We should improve it. The alternatives are worse (both epiphany and chromium).
