Why does Firefox insert a space after special characters when using a font-face?
When browsing a website that uses accented characters (or special characters) and a css font-family feature, Firefox inserts a white space (not a real space character) after the accented character.
It works on Chrome and Safari.

The problem is not with Firefox, but with your font or with the website.
If this is only on one website, then let us know which one.
Otherwise, use an extension like
Font Finder (revived)
to find out which is the problematic font.
Once you find which font, you may decide to delete it from your computer,
or download a better version of it and install.

The problem is likely that you are using the 'COMBINING ACUTE ACCENT' (U+0301) along with the U character instead of the 'LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH ACUTE' (U+00FA) Ú.
The former character set is not in your font so the browser has to use an other system font
