Oh dear :)

That doesn't actually sound like a Firefox problem. It sounds like you
interrupted a cron job doing something useful, though I can't really
guess which.

A good idea might be to go into your Firefox configuration and try
changing the default font - it could be that your usual one is wrecked
somehow. 

Alternatively, have a look in /etc/cron.d or /etc/cron.daily (assuming
Fedora has these...) and perhaps try re-running the jobs which could
have failed. I would be thinking prelinking, anything to do with fonts,
etc. - it could be that re-running the job that failed sets everything
straight.

Cheers,

Alex.
