gfx.e10s.font-list.shared => false
Troubleshoot Mode disables the shared font list which has already been tested without success.
Does it still happen with the flatpak version?

Could be that Firefox is using some emoji font.
You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in Inspector with this element selected.

You can check in the Rules tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font-family is used for selected text. You can check in the Fonts tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font is actually used because Firefox might be using a different font than specified by the website. If the Fonts tab is hidden, click the down arrow at the right end.
firefox is doing that, but I don't understand why, as in my settings I have set normal fonts

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
it still does not work (not displayed in the screenshot are the numbers still not working)
Does it still happen in a new profile? An easy way to test a new profile is to install Developer Edition and see if it happens there or refresh your existing profile. Make sure you stay signed out of your sync account when testing.
it still happens on a new profile on a different instalation of firefox (same version) and it does not happen on brave (installed to test if it was system related)
The screenshot sows that Twemoji font is used like I expected as we have seen such issues reported in the past with a font like that. You can try:
- about:config => gfx.e10s.font-list.shared => false

the flatpak version has no problems, huh probably a dependencies issue on the arch package, sorry to have disturbed and taken your time
