Update: I'm intending to land a pref-flip to turn this feature 
(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio) back on in 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1444139

The reason we backed it out before was because Google Docs used it in 
combination with a second feature ("content: <image-url>" on 
non-pseudoelements) which we did not support -- and their site broke if we 
enabled support for -webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio without also supporting this 
other feature.

But now we do support that other feature, as of 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215083 -- hooray! So we should be 
able to reenable -webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio as well and get a webcompat win 
on mobile. (see webcompat issues tagged off of 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1176968 )
