I have a similar problem like reported in this bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=464731 ... text in the tag doesn't get displayed in bold, but as outlined text.

How can I solve this issue?

That site's preferred font for that text is "Helvetica Neue", which can be ugly in Firefox for Windows.

Usually, Windows does not even have that font, but it could be installed with some other software, such as the ancient Safari for Windows (not secure, not recommended).

This thread mentions a custom style rule workaround, but if you need something more step-by-step, let me know:

Problem with fonts. If I enable Hardware acceleration bold fonts look weird, but if I disable it, bold fonts look good, but normal fonts look weird
