User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0
Steps to reproduce:
- visit https://twitter.com/vilavpn
- after loading complete, hover mouse cursor on the tab
- close the tab, try to search the history in urlbar
Actual results:
Besides the tabline (covered by bug 1704404), the tooltip and urlbar dropdown list item also have an excess height.
Expected results:
There shouldn't be such excess height. The page content displays fine.
The font in use is "Latin Modern Math" (provided by the mathjax2 package). My OS (Arch Linux) will choose "DejaVu Math TeX Gyre" by default. In page content Firefox chooses "DejaVu Serif". Both of them are saner. I don't know how and why Firefox chooses "Latin Modern Math" for its UI.

This is bug 1673022, which was closed as a dupe of bug 1671525. However, bug 1671525 was closed as worksforme because the reporter removed the problem font, which fixed the Firefox problem. See bug 1671525 comment 12 for details.
I'll mark this as a dupe. If you feel that removing the font or the package that installed the font isn't a good workaround for you, then please feel free to re-open that bug and comment there. The engineers who work on layout and fonts will be able to help.
If you'd like to file another bug about Firefox using that font in the first place, that seems reasonable to me. Please file it in Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts (the same component as bug 1671525).
OK, I filed bug 1719953 for the font choice.
