Hi reporter,

Thank you for taking the time to report this. 
I verified this on the latest Firefox versions and it would seem that on Release the fonts used in the address bar and is not as bold and visible as it is on the DevEdition build or Nightly build.

I have added a screenshot to better illustrate the difference.

As I'm not exactly sure if this is a bug, a possible enhancement or it is a setting that can be changed, I'll add it to Firefox:Theme component, for an advised opinion.

Isn't this fixed in 65 by bug 1486204?
