Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

Any errors in the Net tab in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K) about this font?

Is this a font downloaded via @font-face or a locally installed font?

You will have to download and install the font(s) locally.

Also make sure to specify the local property to make Firefox use a local file instead of downloading the fonts, otherwise it only works if special HTTP access control headers are send.
You can also remove any @font-face rules to make Firefox use the locally installed fonts.

@font-face { font-family: '<font name>'; src: local('<font name>'); }
