Note that if you try to do this in a web page, it will throw.  That 
entire interface is mostly for test-automation methods.

We (Mozilla) have no plans to expose screen pixels to untrusted content 
at the moment, more or less as a policy decision.

Why do you need this information, exactly?

That's wholly unrelated to screen pixels, yes?
