This bug is certainly not invalid, so please don't mark it as such. There was ample evidence of the problem.

The firefox in Hardy is not exhibiting this bug. Firefox does appear to be using ligatures for editable text for fonts that have them. It does not appear to be using ligatures for other text, so the rendering problems on pages that combine fonts-with-ligatures and justified text are gone. Therefore I'm marking the bug fix released.

Having Firefox use the available ligatures would be nice, but is not required (it is another problem and probably best tracked upstream). This is enough to allow Ubuntu's default fonts to contain ligatures without causing rendering errors.
