Bold text formatting displays as regular type on Firefox browser

[Nes370]

Describe your issue

Creating bold text by surrounding text with asterisks renders as regular unbolded text when viewed in a Firefox web browser. (**bold text** ->bold text)

The issue appears to stem from how Firefox interprets the <strong> tag. By default, Firefox attempts to apply the style rules from materialize.min.css which specifies the rule font-weight: 500;. At values of 500 or less, text is rendered with a regular unbolded line weight. At values of 501 or more, text is rendered with a bold line weight.

In contrast, Chrome renders text with a regular unbolded line weight at values of 499 or less, and with a bold line weight at values of 500 or more.

So I believe increasing the font-weight value to 501 in materialize.min.css may fix this issue for Firefox users.

In the interim, I've been resorting to surrounding text with <b> tags instead on my wiki to ensure it is rendered bold, but it would be nice if the root of this issue were resolved.
