The font in question has a "Fl" ligature which replaces the "F" and "l" glyphs with a combined "Fl" glyph.

Chrome enables ligatures by default. Firefox does not.
You can either enable ligatures in Firefox (font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures;) or disable them in Chrome (font-variant-ligatures: none) to get the same behavior in both.

Thanks. I have disabled ligatures by setting style with font-variant-ligatures:none;
