The screen resolution is always 1200x900 in either mode. However, IIRC
the browswer
activity has tuned to scale the images such that they looks normal to
a normal PC. Sorry that I don't know how to turn off this but you can
always d/l an official build of firefox via terminal.

You can play around the display mode through the
/sys/devices/platform/dcon/. (no effect on scaling) Details can be
found on wiki.laptop.org. Hopefully there will be a hot key to switch
between color mode and b/w mode with back light. (currently only color
and b/w w/o back light)
