1242174 - Letters swapped in sentence but correct in source code

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[icemanxp]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 20160105164030

Steps to reproduce:

Visited http://wordpress.stonebridge-condo.com/about-us/
Note the first sentence. It appears visually as "Stonebridge was build in 2 phases. The ifrst phase completed in 2005." "ifrst" is spelt correctly in the source and renders correctly on Chrome and IE Edge. Copy paste produces the word "first"

font-family: "Merriweather Sans",Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size:16px;





Actual results:

First sentence rendered as "Stonebridge was build in 2 phases. The ifrst phase completed in 2005."


Expected results:

"Stonebridge was build in 2 phases. The first phase completed in 2005."
Copy paste also generates this result.

WFM with FF43 on Win 7: http://i.imgur.com/274oBxR.jpg
And source code displays the same sentence.

Could you test with a fresh profile, please.

Also works for me on Windows 10 with:
 - Released 43.0.4 - Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0, Build ID: 20160105164030

Reporter can you please try, as Loic suggested, with new profile or in safe mode?

Hello,
I determined that it was a problem with the ligatures and I fixed it on the website.
I've tested this with a fresh Firefox install and fresh profile.

font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;
produces the desired results.

font-variant-ligatures: normal;
produces the bugged results.
