When I search something in Chinese, the search result page and the websites have random bolding of Chinese characters. I don't know how to fix this problem.

It is possible that not all characters are available in the main font that Firefox uses for CJK characters and that some characters are from another font that is bolder.

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected. You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.

Note that this is not about the font-family CSS rule, but about the font that Firefox actually uses as shown in the Font tab.
