Description
Using Kitty and Tmux on macOS with FiraCode 1.207:

Same configuration but with FiraCode 2:

The text is no longer vertically centered in the colored background cell.
Additionally, I noticed that for both versions, the text on the background is not vertically aligned with text on the default background.
With 1.207:

With 2:

It's worse with the new version and I had never noticed the discrepancy before with the old version but this may be the same issue.
I am happy to provide further information about my configuration. Please let me know what information would be useful.
EDIT: I tried the same experiment in Terminal.app, which is using the default "Pro" theme except for the font changed to Fira Code Regular 14pt.
With 1.207:

With 2:

In this case, with the new version, the text is too low. 😞
