Firefox on Linux currently doesn't support a mixture of HiDPI and non-HiDPI monitors, it has a single DPI setting. I think it will be supported when this [1] bug is resolved.

Shameless plug: I have written an addon to workaround this [2].

AutoHiDPI seems to look at the width of the active window rather than the size of the screen. This behavior seems like a bug.

Planning to do something similar for Thunderbird as well, as it suffers from the same problem?
