23 No I don't have it. I thought the line
24
25 xrandr --dpi 192 &
26 or
27 xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode "3840x2160" --scale "0.75x0.75"
28
29 in ~/.xinitrc was sufficient to fix Firefox; it doesn't fix TB.
30
31 I just added
32 Xft.dpi: 192
33 to ~/.Xresources and not only TB works but LibreOffice works too.
34 Of course all of this defies the purpose of having an HiDPI laptop but
35 it is either that or no use at all.

37 Thank you Andrew.
