I'm seeing a font weight difference (FF45 is rendering heavier). Can't yet tell if it's a Firefox problem or a glitch with the Typekit data, but nobody's opened a bug at Mozilla.
Here's a comparison, FF45 and Chrome 50 (click to zoom):

One potential solution - in Firefox open about:config and change gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode to 0. That forces Cleartype to kick in for every font.

Trying it now... Thanks!

Yes, been bothering me too, and I was about to send off a similar post when I saw this.
Will try the clear type setting. Other than that I hope the next FF update fixes it.

It didn't really help me, I have to say...

Nope, didn't do anything.
I'm out of my comfort zone on this, but if the forum site is supposed to load a Typekit font, I get a vague feeling that's not happening. The font I see in Firefox now (badly at that) seems different from what I see in other browsers.

Slightly better now (45.0.1), but there's still something funny going on.
No ClearType even though it's turned on in system, and the kerning is shot to h*ll. And what's with the "d"s?:
So all in all it's readable, but still annoying. Does anyone know what's going on here?
All default settings in Firefox's font rendering.

And I thought it was just me. (I've always had this ego problem.)
The only solution I've found is to go into Options (about:preferences#content), click Fonts & Colors > Advanced and uncheck "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above".
A is with it checked, B unchecked.
Bit of a pain for one set of forums...

The problem is that that screws up a bunch of other sites...

Agreed. So I have belled the cat by submitting a question to Mozilla. Go here for all the exciting developments — https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1115893 .
