Description
Now the static fonts and the variable version share the same name Fira Code, however, it will lead to some issues when both are installed. For example, macOS's font book will complain duplication, and TeX/dvipdfmx will fail to compile if in the look up ordering the variable version may be prior to the static ones (see #1156).
So please consider to use another name, such as Fira Code VF to resolve these problems. The same way has been adopted by Source Code Pro (Source Code Variable). Thank you!

Research direction
Start by locating the static and variable Fira Code font artifacts and reviewing issue #1156, then check how their names are produced. Confirm the variable font can use a distinct name such as “Fira Code VF” without breaking macOS Font Book or TeX/dvipdfmx lookup; the changed naming should prevent duplicate-font and compilation conflicts.
