I guess you're using the KDE desktop. Firefox uses GTK, so it won't use the 
font settings you specify in KDE's control panel. You need to install the 
control-center2 rpm first. Once installed, go to the KDE menu, then 
Utilities, then Desktop, and then choose the gnome desktop configuration 
tool. Look for the font settings, and change them to suit your style. Now, 
when you start firefox, it will use those fonts.

You must also ensure that the gnome-settings-daemon is started up each time 
you log into KDE. Go into your .kde/Autostart directory, and create a soft 
link from /opt/gnome/lib/control-center-2.0/gnome-settings-daemon to this 
directory, so that the next time you start KDE, the gnome fonts you chose 
are applied.

I was pulling my hair out over this, until I stumbled upon this solution 
via Google. I think this should be an FAQ entry.
