Okay this'll sure be of help, i tried it.

  1. Download Solaimanlipi font and install it. (to install in a Windows OS, click Start>control panel>Fonts, copy and paste your downloaded Solaimanlipi in Fonts).
  2. Open Firefox 4. Click Tools>options>content>advanced. Hit the 'Advanced' button. For the drop down list of 'Fonts for', choose Bengali. Replace all the other options below with Solaimanlipi.

You're done!
