In a simple web page, FF3 (B5 & RC1) displays correctly the <strong> html tag.
But in certain more complex cases, it doesn't take care of this. The issue can be seen with a Dokuwiki bold syntax **text** which not displayed bold. See attachment to discover what my FF3 displays.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type http://wiki.splitbrain.org/wiki:syntax in address zone
2. Search for bold text
Actual Results:
Bold text is not displayed bold
Expected Results:
Bold text is displayed bold
Bold text of the dokuwiki page is correctly displayed with FF 2.0.0.14, IE7, Safari Beta for Windows and even in FF3b5 for Linux (Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron).

YES. Good job ! The line which should be bold is not bold.

Ok, let's confirm this bug, although I haven't been able to reproduce this myself yet. (I currently have trouble removing fonts in my fonts directory)
Apparently, with the fonts you have installed (there is a list of installed fonts in the zipped file attached to the bug), the font fallback code for bold Lucida Grande doesn't work well.

I can't reproduce this on Vista (no Lucida Grande)

I confirm (if it's yet necessary) that the problem comes from the font Lucida-Grande. I removed it from the fonts folder and bold characters are back in Dokuwiki and in Martijn's testcase. Generally, standard fonts are developed into 4 files (normal, bold, italic and bold italic) and I only have the 'normal' font file.
But this doesn't explain why FF2 and other browsers work fine despite the fact that the weak font is present.
Would you like to have the font file to reproduce the problem ? If yes, tell me where I can upload it safely.

I am having the same issue on Firefox 4 Beta 12 on Windows XP; have not yet tried it on Vista. Not sure if I should be adding attachments here though, as this is quite an old bug report.

Jack, if you have an example where <strong> behaved as expected in Firefox 3.x, but not in Firefox 4, then please file a new bug.
