Russian fonts in Firefox under OS X Leopard
One of the annoying problems of OS X Leopard upgrade was Firefox’s problem of presenting Russian characters - all buttons, text boxes and other controls contained question marks instead of characters while web pages were presented well.
This is how you fix this:
Quit Firefox. Go to Applications folder and Right click on Firefox. Select “Show Package Contents” from the menu. Navigate to Contents -> Resources and rename en.lproj directory to ru.lproj directory.

THANK YOU! This was very frustrating. I googled “Firefox Russian Leopard” and yours was the first site to come up, and it worked. I don’t understand what I changed or why it worked, but I’m glad it did.

Glad it helped! It took me some time to find the solution and I almost switched to Safari in the meantime, which was painful since like my Firefox plugins and shortcuts
