It looks like font is heavier on pretty much all the websites and not just menus. Is this a bug or just how Firefox is supposed to be ?

Parts of Youtube and Reddit have different font weight but the other parts look correct. Wikipedia also has a slightly heavier font. Google looks absolutely correct though. TBH none of this looks bad just inconsistent.

I have set this bug's component as (Core) XUL since it seems to include the context menu code. If incorrect, please change it to a more appropriate component rather than reverting it to Untriaged or setting it to General.

I could not really notice a difference on MacBook 13inch (Mac 10.13.6 and Mac 10.14.6). Hopefully, it can be properly addressed by a more skilled person from the chosen component.

@sheelgautam995, can you please tell us what device and what OS version you are reproducing this issue on?

Thank you for your contribution!

spohl, I just wanted to give you a heads up about this. Do you think this belongs in Widget: Cocoa?

Comment 9

[Brian Grinstead [:bgrins]]

We'll need some guidance from Cocoa folks and/or UX on exactly what to set this to.

This seems like a question for UX.
