Wondering the same:

Where exactly is Firefox reading the system value from so that it can automatically adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx when it is set to -1.0 (default value)?

And would it be possible to alter layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and/or the system value via the terminal/via a command?

Would be very much appreciated if someone could explain.
