How to enable ligatures in FiraCode for Visual Studio 2015

I downloaded the FiraCode font's and have selected that as my font in Visual Studio. However the ligatures are not showing and the wiki doesn't have any special instruction for visual studio, although they imply it works because it is listed in their WORKS column for editor support.

Anyone have the missing step(s) to display the ligatures in visual studio 2015?

How do I enable ligatures?

In Word 2010 or newer for Windows, press Control-D to open the Font dialog box, and select the Advanced tab. Check the option to “Use Contextual Alternates,” then set Ligatures to “All,” and click OK.
