I've been struggling to get Firefox to render text in a sans-serif font.
So far, I've only been able to do that by
setting the default font as sans-serif.
DejaVu Sans Mono and DajaVu Sans are the only other
listed fonts that I'm reasonalbly sure are sans-serif.
Helvetica and Arial are not there.
sans-serif does work on Konqueror.
Does anyone know how to affect the font-family on Firefox 38.7.0 ?

What did you > choose?Thank you. The option is hidden under an "advanced" button, but I finally found it. I changed it to allow. -- Michael hennebry at web.cs.ndsu.NoDak.edu "Sorry but your password must contain an uppercase letter, a number, a haiku, a gang sign, a heiroglyph, and the blood of a virgin." -- someeecards
