Does this affect Firefox/Chrome on macOS?

I'd guess yes, since they're both (due to Apple rules) basically wrappers around webkit and JavaScriptCore. (Modulo the possible hint that this is just an Intel-based Mac systems problem)

That is not true for macOS which is what GP asked about.

While that is true on iOS, macOS has no such restriction on Firefox or Chrome.

macOS != iOS, Firefox uses Gecko.
