Lol, why didn't you say so in the first place? 

Mozilla, when compiled with gtk2 support, which I assume it is, will
follow your gtk theme. XFce4 sets the gtk theme and the font.

The gtk settings are provided by the xfce-mcs-plugins package (and the
xfce-settings-manager).

You can use any other means to set your gtk2 theme to get the same
effect, like gnome-control-center or editing ~/.gtkrc-2.0 by hand.
