Font on certain sites is being forced to this weird one (NOT in private window though), font setting in accessibility does nothing to fix it

Alyx

My font on some sites is being forced to this horrible condensed font and it's seemingly nothing to do with my font settings in browser. Thing is, I VAGUELY remember changing a setting SOMEWHERE to actually do this, but it's not the main font setting in accessibility. Furthermore this issue has only started happening in the last day or two and my vague memory of setting my font somewhere was years ago.

Is there any other setting in Firefox that affects default font for certain sites?

[Images attached from terraria.wiki.gg in a normal tab (with bad font) and private browsing tab (with the font it SHOULD have) for comparison]

Additional information:

I've tried "refresh firefox", it did not fix the issue

This is only happening on my main PC so whatever's causing this isn't being synced

(This is still definitely a Firefox issue, as it doesn't affect any other browsers or even Firefox private windows)

If you create a new profile to test this, do you get the same weird font even inside a clean profile?

Yes, even in a new profile.

I checked the site. It defines "Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif", nothing more. This sounds like an addon interference, but that would resolve after refresh, new profile, or troubleshooting mode. So this is weird.

This is a test page that uses the same type definition: https://html2link.dev/x/v2MUy78I — do you see the condensed font there as well?
