Is that the case on Windows? (btw, 7 or 8.x ?)
I cannot reproduce that with Firefox Nightly build running on OS X 10.9. The
font-size: 80% span is visibly lighter, but both small caps glyphs have the
same stroke width / weight / colour as the capital letter. The strokes are
slightly thinner of course, as is to be expected given the difference in
font-size, but there is no such glaring difference as one can see with e.g.
Arial.
