The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Layout: Text and Fonts' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.
This glyph bbox problem also happens to me when working normally with Wordpress plugins in Firefox Beta 118 (118.0b4 currently)
examples of plugins affected:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/
In the WordFence wp-admin sections

This is a bug in the font; it has incorrect bounding box data in some of the glyph records. In bug 1847959, Firefox was updated to detect and fix this type of error when loading the font resource, and issue a warning in the console to make developers/authors aware of the error in the font.
So this is not a bug, it is a valid warning message regarding a buggy font.
In bug 1850738, we've just consolidated the warning messages so that fewer of them will appear. The underlying issue of incorrect data in the font should be reported to the font developer/vendor.
