Making Web Component properties behave closer to the platform
You can see how Mozilla tests the compliance of their built-in elements in the Gecko repository (the ok and is assertions are defined in their SimpleTest testing framework). And here's the Web Platform Tests' reflection harness, with data for each built-in element in sibling files, that almost every browser pass.

Pinch Zoom with Mouse Wheel is too Slow = How to Adjust Zoom Increments?
aWheelInput.mDeltaY looks like the increment setting used for this https://github.com/mozilla/gecko-dev/commit/9033e3e1200acfd4b8f8ae024c215b99d12b97bdTried "mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y" and "mousewheel.with_control.delta_multiplier_y" without much luck.It may have something to do with https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1138704 although this case is about pinch zoom emulation.

Fetched and build the code of the "release" but it's produced Nightly version
Are you leaving steps out or is your OP exhaustive? If you just straight up cloned release and that's it, start all over and follow https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/index.html for your OS

Lottie under the hood
Actually, that's not entirely accurate. The lottie-web library itself doesn't support rendering to WebGL. However, there is a package called canvaskit-wasm that wraps Skia (a graphics engine) with WebAssembly (wasm). This package includes a module called skottie which supports rendering animations into a WebGL surface. However, there is a drawback with this approach: using wasm requires loading a relatively large package, and it's uncertain whether all features are supported correctly, as the official compatibility table that tracks lottie support on different platforms does not include skottie.

Due to popular demand, here’s part 2
The imgs are mainly used by Tencent QQ and Baidu Tieba users. QQ and Tieba compress imgs by default, so the popular imgs (in China we call them "屌图" or "表情包") would be compressed million of times during the spreading, causing the super low quality. These APPs on Android are using Skia for image processing, which suffering from a legendary bug: result would be more green. The bug was fixed in 2016: https://github.com/google/skia/commit/c7d01d3e1d3621907c27b283fb7f8b6e177c629d
