The item is bold because it signifies the default action if the object is
clicked on.  For example, if you click on a bookmark it will open it.

Oh.
Not too sexy in my mind. Chicago 12 BOLD is simply ugly!
Should by remove IMO.

BTW in this logic why "default action" isn't listed in CM on URL link.. ie "Open 
this link" like in NS? 

For the Print button why "confirming" with an drop menu that this button will 
print... "other features" will be listed?

This convention comes from Windows, so it was probably carried over to all other
platforms.

There is no default action in the link context menu because there is no "Open
This Link" item.  It was deemed repetitive and removed.  Of course, this isn't
consistent with the context menu in the Bookmarks sidebar panel, which does have
an "Open" item.

Other features will be added to the Print button, eventually.

Any opinion macusers? I think the "bold effect" should be remove under MacOS.

Like "Page Setup..." under MacOS I hope!

Yeah, the bold effect should be removed on Mac OS. It doesn't look right, and is
not part of the interface guidelines.

Alas, this is the Modern theme, which is cross-platform. The fact that it's 
using your system fonts at all is due to CSS magic, not to any platform-
-specificity of the theme itself. I'm pretty sure it's not possible currently 
for Modern to do platform-specific things.

So reassigning to component owner, though this bug will probably end up 
wontfix. If you want Mozilla to not look ugly, don't use Modern.

Mass reassigning some of my theme bugs to Shuehan.

impossible to fix on modern as that theme is identical on all platforms.

Are you sure? I heard someone talking about using tagging to identify the items 
to be bolded.

But then I guess the tag gets converted to bold in the skin...?
