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.
