Cannot get Firefox 16 min-resolution dppx media query to work on retina MacBook Pro

I'm trying to use the new min-resolution dppx media query support in Firefox 16 to work with my retina MacBook Pro, however when targetting the dppx with min-resolution it's not being supported by the browser. Is this actually correctly supported by Firefox now, or is it still outstanding?

Test case is here - I've set it to 1dppx, so as far as I understand the text should be red on any screen (not just a retina one): http://mjw.in/firefox/test1.html

After updating 1dppx worked, so I've updated it to 2dppx to test the retina screen and it's back to not working.

I don't think that 2dppx works in Firefox 16 because a search on MXR with mozilla-release doesn't give any results (1dppx may work).

The current Nightly build may work in case you want to test this.
