I'm not sure what's up without seeing your code, but I just re-tested
this to make sure it was working and it worked for me on FF3/Mac. I
used Firebug to set these styles and they worked on the tabs demo page
on the UI site.

Just to check, I copied this style override:

.ui-tabs .ui-tabs-nav li a {
text-align:center;
width:155px;
}

...and pasted it into a style block in the head of this page and the
text alignment was centered. I set the width to 155 just so it was
wider than needed to see the effect:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/tabs/default.html

Can you re-try? Maybe without a larger width explicitly set, you
couldn't see the centered text effect?
