What font does Firefox use for Helvetica? (lemmy.ca)

Firefox's Reader View seems to me to show a font that is similar to Helvetica. If I try to make it use only Inter, Arial, or "sans-serif", then it changes the font. What font is Firefox using instead? This also happens in Firefox forks.

Could it be "Fira Sans"?

The T has overhangs, and putting the Fira font page into reader view changes the font.
