How can I disable ligatures and still allow pages to use their own fonts?
I often save to PDF or mark text then transfer it into a document. Firefox renders many letter combinations as ligatures: ff, fi, ffi, fl, and more. I don't want ligatures. The cures proposed have involved forbidding pages to use their own fonts. Is there another way?

You could possibly use code in userContent.css to disable ligatures.

More info about userChrome.css/userContent.css in case you are not familiar:

You need to set this pref to true in about:config to enable userChrome.css and userContent.css in Firefox 69+.
- about:config => toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets => true
