You may have to add extra font settings (font-weigh) to make Firefox use the Segoe Light font on Windows.

Windows has two different font subsystems: GDI and DirectWrite.
When DirectWrite rendering is used rather than GDI rendering, font families are grouped differently.
How a browser reacts here will depend on which font subsystem it's using.

Try: 

{ font-family:"Segoe UI light","Segoe UI"; font-weight:300; }

Note that Firefox won't use any mso-style rules.
