Mozilla uses whatever you have configured in the preferences panel as 
the font for the menubar IIRC.  Try changing your font from serif to 
sans-serif.

Additionally, you're probably having trouble with the antialiased small 
text.  You might want to try creating a /usr/X11R6/etc/fonts/local.conf
file with the following lines:

<!-- Fontconfig local overrides -->

<match target="pattern">
         <test qual="any" name="size" compare="less_eq">
                 <double>12</double>
         </test>
         <edit name="antialias" mode="assign">
                 <bool>false</bool>
         </edit>
</match>

And see if that's any easier on your eyes.
