Yes, that's a common complaint from Firefox/Iceweasel users, that
upgrading to newer versions can easily break the current addons and you
have to manually check for updated versions of the addons which are
compatible with the new version of the browser.

You can use (or at least try) the upstream addons, they don't need to be
under Debian repository, there should be no compatibility problem.
Another possibility could be getting the addon from testing or sid.

Yes, I'd go for this. And should you experience any problem, just ask in
the backports mailing list and request for a "backported" version ;-)
