Try this:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418885#c68
It works well enough (although I noticed printing doesn't work), easy to do and
it doesn't mess your system.
There is also GNOME 2.16 and GNOME 2.18 backports: (although they would be
overkill for running Firefox)
http://people.debian.org/~nobse/gnome/etch/2.16/
http://download.tuxfamily.org/emiscabpo/gnome218-bpo/
I'm using the 2.18 backport and it works well. But I think upgrading only gtk
doesn't work well, I remember I've tried to install just evince and its
dependencies from 2.16 repo, and it ruined my desktop.
