Thank you, Owen, for checking this.  I can confirm: the rendering of the fonts
is (almost) OK in FF 67.0 (almost = in my case the non-bold paragraphs show the
problem mentioned). 

After having investigated more deeply: it seems that FF and Edge use some local
copy of the font:  Removing the part "local("Noto Sans *")," from each
@font-face definition (e.g. with the developer tool of FF) causes the problem
occur in FF and in Edge for every variant (regular and bold) as it is in
Chrome. 

I have also used the following html file to test the issue fully locally (and
had the Koha version of the font locally downloaded):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>Zażółć gęślą jaźń</title>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" >
    <meta name="description" content="Zażółć gęślą jaźń" >
  </head>
  <body>
    <style>

@charset "UTF-8";
@font-face {
 font-family:NotoSans;
 font-style:normal;
 font-weight:400;
 src:local("Noto Sans Regular"),
 url(NotoSans-Regular-webfont.woff2) format("woff2"),
 url(NotoSans-Regular-webfont.woff) format("woff")
}
@font-face {
 font-family:NotoSans;
 font-style:bold;
 font-weight:700;
 src:local("Noto Sans Bold"),
 url(NotoSans-Bold-webfont.woff2) format("woff2"),
 url(NotoSans-Bold-webfont.woff) format("woff")
}

body {
 font-family:"NotoSans";
}
    </style>

    <h1>Zażółć gęślą jaźń</h1>
    <h2>Zażółć gęślą jaźń</h2>
    <h3>Zażółć gęślą jaźń</h3>
    <p>Zażółć gęślą jaźń</p>
    <p><b>Zażółć gęślą jaźń</b></p>

  </body>
</html>

BTW, after inserting the line:
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Noto+Sans&display=swap');
in <style> and changing the font-family for body in "Noto Sans" (with space) =
using the Google API version, the rendering is OK (also with no 'local' part in
declaration).
