First, i suggest uninstalling all gtk-qt stuff, it usually cause more
problems than its solves.

Second, do you want to change Firefox font specifically, or all gtk apps?
Because the easiest ways to deal with firefox is chrome/userChrome.css file
in you firefox profile or "Theme Font & Size Changer" addon.

For all gtk apps you will have to manually create and edit config
files.
Here is the good guide to it https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK%2B
