@Philipp:

1. if we change the default settings in favor of DejaVu Sans, then I can
guarantee you that many other users will file bugs against this change,
because of metric incompatibility. Happened already before, I know what
I'm talking about.

2. The webpages are clearly readable to me. I agree that the letters are
a bit narrow and small, but zooming in helps in that case. Otherwise you
can also increase the dpi setting for your screen or complain to the
webmasters why they enforce such a small font size.

3. If you want to use sans-serif (which defaults to DejaVu Sans) as
default font, then you can do the settings in Edit/Preferences/Advanced
and uncheck the box "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of
my selections above".

This bug is clearly a user preference setting and should be handled like
that! Please refrain from demanding a system wide change in the packages
unless that change would benefit *all* desktop applications and users.
This request is definitely *not* one of those!

What would be possible, IMHO, would be to disable the "Allow pages to
choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" setting in a
clean default installation of firefox. (I'm not sure what is the current
default setting, as I have modified my personal settings quite a bit).
