Syncing the compositor's page flips to vsync is already possible if you have hw layers on. Check about:support for GPU Accelerated Windows. It should also work in software if your display protocol supports explicit buffer flips - for example, the GTK3 version of Firefox.

edit: Firefox doesn't tear for me with GTK2 either, but I'm actually not sure why that is. Full screen videos tear with GTK2.
