This is about the text "Dados Pessoais" and so on, I guess?
In that case, this is a site authoring issue. They're using a webfont "GlobotipoTexto-Bd", which is inherently a bold face, but it's declared with a @font-face rule that does not specify the font-weight (and therefore treats it as font-weight:400):
@font-face { font-family: "GlobotipoTexto-Bd"; src: url("https://s3.glbimg.com/cdn/fonts/globotipo/texto/Globo_Tx_Bd.woff2") format("woff2"), url("https://s3.glbimg.com/cdn/fonts/globotipo/texto/Globo_Tx_Bd.woff") format("woff"), url("https://s3.glbimg.com/cdn/fonts/globotipo/texto/Globo_Tx_Bd.ttf") format("truetype"); font-style: normal; }
Then the page applies font-weight: 700 to the element (via the liNYvh class, although as it's an <h2> it would be bold even without that). As the font was (implicitly) declared to be normal weight, Firefox applies synthetic bold to it.
They could prevent this by specifying an appropriate font-weight: bold descriptor in the @font-face rule, or by applying the font-synthesis-weight: none property to prevent synthetic-bold being used.

Verified this issue and it's still reproducible on Firefox versions 122 and 124.
