Firefox Mac always asking to activate obscure fonts at launch
Anyone else run into this? When I first launch Firefox (this problem has existed for several versions), Firefox asks to activate some really obscure fonts I own. I can't imagine any mainstream site (like Wikipedia) using these fonts. No other browser (Safari, Chrome) has this behavior.
Not sure if its Firefox directly, or Firefox sending a font request to the OS, but it's an annoying problem.

I use FontCase to manage fonts (of which I have quite a few). I don't want to install my user fonts into the OS. That's the whole reason for a font manager.
No other browser I use requires this. Why does Firefox 3.6~6?
