Yes, currently this tool is lacking in freebsd-utils or
freebsd-hackedutils. It has to be packaged.

This should be in the same place as on a plain FreeBSD system, but I
don't know the exact location. At the end we will probably move that to
/lib/firmware, but there is plenty things to do on GNU/kFreeBSD, so this
may not change very soon.

Do you have some more information? For example which version? Works well
with version 2.14.0.dfsg-4 here.

What is the exact problem with iceweasel?
