1. Switch to Chrome, at least for kanji study. ;-)
2. Somewhere on your system is a font configuration file, possibly
   /etc/fonts.conf or /etc/fonts/fonts.conf.  In it, or in one or more
   include files, there are a couple of long lists of fonts that look
   like the excerpt below.  Try moving all the Japanese ones up, and
   all the Chinese and Korean ones down.
   NOTE: You will very likely lose this customization when you upgrade
   Ubuntu, and perhaps any time you (un)install fonts, etc.  There's
   probably a way to do this in a file that is protected for local
   customizations, but I don't know the syntax offhand, and you'll
   have to tell me where Ubuntu puts it.
3. Get the minutes of the Han Unification Committee of ISO
   10646/Unicode, and learn to unify kanji by eye. ;-)
4. Run Firefox under strace, find the illicit font files it is using,
   and terminate them with extreme prejudice. :-)  (I hear Arnold S
   needs a new job....)

1 and 3 are practical suggestions, expressed a bit humorously (well,
IMSBO), but outside of the scope of what you seem to be asking for.  4
is a practical suggestion, but if you haven't used strace before, you
may find it a learning experience (which has the alternative spelling
E X E R C I S E SPC I N SPC F R U S T R A T I O N).  2 is
straightforward, easy to experiment with, and safe (as long as you
back up the file first).
