    I found an issue.
    On my website I'm using system font for each OS which exist.

    But in Firefox on Mac the font is much more bolder than on the other browsers.

    Here's how's my font displaying in Firefox:
    Firefox

    And here's how it's displaying on other browsers:
    Safari:
    Safari
    Chrome:
    Chrome
    Opera:
    Opera

    How can I fix this?

    When I view your site in Firefox on my Mac, it looks like the correct font display, but the font-family you are using for the text is not correct. You have

    {
        font-family: -apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif,"Apple Color Emoji","Segoe UI Emoji","Segoe UI Symbol";
    }

    You should not be using Apple/Mac specific fonts for a website. These fonts only exist on Apple computers. Looking at your site on any other type of computer will produce different results, especially if Segoe is not enqueued correctly.
