On some pages, such as:

https://civilengineeringbible.com/subtopics.php?i=2

maths symbols do not display properly. Pi and Phi are displayed as p and f, and the square root symbol is a capital O with an umlaut. This page displays perfectly in Chrome. Is there a way to see the page properly in Firefox?

The page is incorrectly written.

You can't do the π sign like this: <span style="font-family:Symbol">p</span>. This is just wrong way of writing math symbols.

I understand that in your opinion, the page should be written differently.

However, Chrome, Edge and even IE have no problem with this, which is why I am asking if there is a way Firefox can display it correctly.

No, not really.

OK, thanks, I will just have to switch to Chrome, for this site at least.
