This won't be my first bug, if assigned to me.
I have previously worked on about:logins "Import Error"
Tim kindly advise...

Figured this is not really a font-weight issue, best fit was an inherited body font-size. But to ensure cross-platform consistency it was still necesary to implicitly declare font-weight normal.

On further investigation of this bug, I've determined that this is not a valid bug. The font weight of the left screenshot looks "too bold" but that is because of Ubuntu's font and is to be expected.
