It looks like that Mozilla renders a thick underline with hyperlinks and
underlined text (on large text sizes).
The rest of the browsers (IE & Opera.. and maybe others) do not modify the
thickness of the underline, even if the underlined text is bold.

You can see this behaviour on these pages:
 1. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=test&btnG=Google+Search
    Notice how some links have the thick underline and some don't. This is
because of the text size.
 2. http://drudgereport.com/
    You can see this problem in the headline (right above the 'Drudge Report'
image). The headline is a bolded hyperlink with a bold (thick) underline.

You should compare the output of those pages on several browsers, and you will
see that the rendering there doesn't affect the underline.

I will attach a test page that shows the scenarios.

P.S. this has been a bug in Mozilla for so long ... I hope it gets fixed!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Attached file testcase
This shows some cases where the thick underline appears.
Compare the output of the page in different browsers and see that most of them
don't have that thick underline.
