Im not sure if this is a bug but I have the problem that some charakters are shown in a different language or a very thin font for me in Firefox. It is only shown like this for for example google searches (see picture below) and not in the browser settings e.g.

It looks that a different font is used for bold text than for normal text.

What fonts is Firefox using in both cases ?

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected.

You can check in the Rules tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font-family is used for selected text.
You can check in the Font tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font is actually used because Firefox might be using a different font than specified by the website.
