I assume that you want to minimize another function (func below) along the  
curve F1 == F2. Then you can either solve for f explicitly and use  
FindMinimum or search for a constrained minimum with NMinimize:

In[1]:=
{{r1, r2}, {f1, f2}} = {{1, 2}, {90, 180}};

F1[r_, f_] = 3.92 + 3.758/E^(6.152*(-1.184 + r)) - (6.288336759430112*(1 -  
0.00008280000000000001*(180 - f)^2))/E^(3.076*(-1.184 + r));

F2[r_, f_] = 0.479 + 0.479/E^(9.986*(-1.375 + r)) - (0.958*(1 -  
0.00107*(133 - f)^2))/E^(4.993*(-1.375 + r));

func[r_, f_] = 50000*(r - 1.2)^2 + (f - 135)^2;

Lsol = Solve[F1[r, f] == F2[r, f], f];

FindMinimum[func[r, f] /. Lsol[[2]], {r, (r1 + r2)/2, r1, r2}]

Out[6]=
{176.96819, {r -> 1.1620375}}

In[7]:=
NMinimize[{func[r, f], F1[r, f] == F2[r, f]},
   {{r, r1, r2}, {f, f1, f2}}]

Out[7]=
{176.96819, {f -> 145.24258, r -> 1.1620374}}

Also you can use FindRoot, which can handle equations that don't have  
closed-form solutions and is faster than NMinimize:

In[8]:=
R[f_?NumericQ] :=
   r /. FindRoot[F1[r, f] == F2[r, f], {r, (r1 + r2)/2, r1, r2}]

Plot[func[R[f], f], {f, f1, f2}]

FindMinimum[func[R[f], f], {f, (f1 + f2)/2, f1, f2}]

Out[10]=
{176.96819, {f -> 145.24259}}

This works because there is only one root for each value of f.
