Firefox displays regular fonts in bold in some cases
I noticed that Firefox renders regular fonts in bold on some websites.
Uploading screenshots to this thread doesn't seem to work which is why I'm linking them instead. Here you can see a comparison of the search results page of Ecosia in Firefox and Chrome: https://tr.canto.global/direct/image/beu725ieo946fcaqpdfb8chh6m/OqxmN6JWDMGDkEj98IsrfaG_zsM/original?content-type=image%2Fpng&name=Firefox+using+bold+fonts.png
And here are my Firefox fonts settings: https://tr.canto.global/direct/image/lkpqv9oujh4mf7lgq7hhq7vk4m/qO2xuYdMbC02aLGVRCD3n73FMKA/original?content-type=image%2Fpng&name=Firefox+fonts+settings.png
I'm also having the same issue with the support ticket system Freshdesk.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks!

I found the source of the issue... at least in my case.
My Windows computer only had the "Helvetica Bold" font installed, no other version of that font. And those affected websites were apparently using "Helvetica Regular" as their default font which caused issues with Firefox and my system. I have now installed "Helvetica Regular" to my system and all those websites look OK now.
