I remember indeed, reading the Trev's solution. But I didn't think it could work also for Mozilla's apps. And I hoped it was fixed now, as I reported the "bug" a long time ago for a gnome apps, and a lot of things have been done since this bugreport.

Anyway, I couldn't create the symlink, gtk-2.0 doesn't exist in my new system (just installed wheezy). However, export GNOME_ACCESSIBILITY=1 works.

Yes I think. Should I report some bug to iceweasel maintainers? Explaining the problem and the workaround?

I think we should anyway try making things 9ork in wheezy as we're fixing bugs. Because any new user will not understand why stable doesn't work perfectly for him for apps as important as Mozilla's suite.
