Marking as NEW since we have a regression range.
Dao, it seems that your patch in bug 1513337 caused this regression, could you have a look please? Thanks

If this is an easy fix I'm still happy to take a patch in 70 beta.

If this is an easy fix I'm still happy to take a patch in 70 beta.

gfx.e10s.font-list.shared isn't enabled by default yet so 70 isn't actually affected.

Also I don't see how bug 1513337 could be meaningfully related to this. Are we sure about the regression range?

Attaching the reporter's screenshots here for convenience.

Looking at the images, it's not just the context menu; the tab title also uses a different font. The URL bar text looks like it matches, though (difficult to be entirely sure, as so little of it is visible).

I wonder, does this reproduce on Win10 or is it Win7-only?
