Well, for the same reason you'd want them anywhere: because they look nicer.

In this case, all it's supposed to do is join up the cross-bars on the 
two fs: https://imgur.com/a/lqt2Ulc (Screenshot is from loading the wiki 
page on my local Firefox; the same rendering is shown in the image on 
this font catalogue: https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/sourcesanspro/)

It sounds like there's a bug somewhere in your browser's rendering 
stack. Maybe you can apply a global setting or over-ride stylesheet to 
turn ligatures off locally if you can't find the bug?
