Firefox gets these options from Fontconfig by FcPatternGetInteger() FC_HINT_STYLE, FC_RGBA, etc. Then Firefox do cairo_font_options_set_hint_style(), cairo_font_options_set_subpixel_order(), etc.
gnome-font-appearance sets Xrm settings, XSETTINGS, gtk-xft settings, and gconf. So, they're using different setting systems. It would not be too difficult to get it fixed.
