I am making a web page (in Dreamweaver) for a meeting and I have certain things in bold. In Firefox, the bold (<b></b>) does not show. Bold shows up on my pages on Chrome and on Microsoft edge. I've also tried the <strong> tag, but that doesn't work either. The font family for the pages is sans-serf. I really need this to show on most browsers.

You could try font-weight. Hopefully you can use the link below by removing the blank space.

You can check in the Inspector what font is used and whether Firefox sees the bold rules.

You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in Inspector with this element selected.

I did that initially. There was only one html/CSS issue and it was not for the area where there are problems. There was an issue where with a link to Adobe fonts in the head, but I erased the script and that did nothing to the page viewing in Firefox.

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required) ?
