I have updated the gist and moved away from the moz-specific check and test for min-resolution:144dpi. This works on Firefox (beta) on the Nexus 7, where as all other approaches (moz--min-device-pixel-ratio and min-resoution:1.5dppx) didn't.

Also works on Chrome on MacBook Pro Retina (where window.devicePixelRatio==2).
