Can you post a screenshot?
I doubt that the issues are the same, since Pango generally handles ligatures nicely, and because this bug is produced by some weird Firefox quirks. I think Pango is just confused because it's a monospaced font. The Firefox bug happens with any font that has ligatures (including non-monospaced ones).
