Research direction
Reproduce the rendering difference on the NumPy and SciPy documentation websites with Firefox 99.0.1 and the Native MathML extension enabled and disabled. Compare the generated formula rendering and the sites' documented rendering setup; done means native MathML rendering works consistently on both websites.

Description
Hello everyone,
I use a browser extension by the name of "Native MathML" which forces formula rendering engines like MathJax/KaTeX/MediaWIki to use native MathML rendering. The extension seems to be working on other websites (including Wikipedia, tell me if you know of other websites where I can test this for comparison), but it doesn't work on the numpy and scipy documentation websites. (I seem to remember it working in the past, but I'm not 100% sure now)
To illustrate the issue, I've included two screenshots:
one where the extension is activated:

and a second one where the extension is deactivated:

My browser is Firefox version 99.0.1 (64-bit)
