This change effectively sidesteps the issue by making everything render to sRGB, and telling macOS that Firefox's windows are sRGB only.

Wow, that seems ... really unfortunate? So on macOS, if I open a nice photo from a friend that's tagged with AdobeRGB, Firefox will downconvert that to sRGB? I hope they don't bring that change to any other OSes!
You're right that mode 1 is flaky and could use some improvements (video, canvas elements, av1 which is treated as video by the decoder...) but converting wider gamut graphics down to sRGB seems like a clear step in the wrong direction.
By the way, Firefox passes all the tests in the article you linked to for me.
Also, wow. How fast is the new Firefox?
It's still much better than Windows though... I clamp my wide gamut monitor to sRGB because Windows is so infuriatingly inconsistent.
