behavior of ttf-sazanami with Firefox in different languages

Yesterday I installed ttf-sazanami as a solution for font rendered on Japanese websites, but today I noticed it's being used in Firefox as the font on websites that are explicitly English and even specify <html lang="en">.

Until now, it's been using Ohsnap for everything as I wanted, because I've specified it explicitly as my font of choice in just about all configuration files such as GTK, Qt, .Xresources, etc.

It was displayed in any text input fields in the browser, and any sort of HTML that didn't have any explicitly declared font(s).

I ran fc-match a few times to see what font is supposed to be getting rendered:

$ fc-match sans
DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"

$ fc-match serif
DejaVuSerif.ttf: "DejaVu Serif" "Book"

$ fc-match monospace
DejaVuSansMono.ttf: "DejaVu Sans Mono" "Book"

I'm very confused why some English websites are rendering ttf-sazanami. It doesn't appear that it should be happening.

My only locale is en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

Also, I'm not using Infinality or any sort of foreign font packages (such as Microsoft, Mac, etc.)
