I use firefox-bin. On dwm the firefox ui (tabs, preferences panel etc.) uses sans-serif fonts, but on swaywm, it uses serif fonts. Here is the difference: https://ibb.co/GvLDZvs

FF on sway has wrong text here so I went back and tried some things and found gsettings, which of course is different from gconftool.
Code:
$ gsettings list-recursively |grep font
~snip~
org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Cantarell 11'
and of course that's wrong, so I tried
Code:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'DejaVu Sans 8'
and FF's interface instantly went back to 'normal' but the DPI is wrong partly because I only know how to force that in X. I'm pretty sure I don't have that other font and it was defaulting to Sans anyway so it just corrected the relative size. :shrug: This isn't necessarily a solution but when I logged out of sway and the console and went back in, it was still the way I had left it.

gsettings belongs to gnome-base/gsettings-desktop-schemas and it might only be installed here due to carelessness. But gconf-editor doesn't show any of those org.gnome.desktop keys. sigh

HTH

Thanks! It fixed my problem (I don't have any DPI issues).
