I noticed on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1603404#c1 that the ligatures work on links (see attachment).

This CSS rule seems to fix it for me:

a {
  font-variant-ligatures: none;
}

no-contextual also removes it, but I believe links shouldn't have any ligatures to prevent any issue, because they're important.

(Please move to the appropriate component in this one is incorrect, as I'm not sure this is due to a mozilla customization or part of Bugzilla-the-product. Thanks!)
