Figured out how to fix this issue from a similar mozilla bugzilla entry.

Go to Tools > Options > General > Fonts and Colors ....

Just change the following:

Fonts for: User Defined

Serif: Manorama (the font you want)
Sans-serif: Manorama (the font you want)
Monospace: Manorama (the font you want)

Hit OK, OK and then reload the page.
