If your kernel doesn't support that (it might be a newer sysctl, though
my 2.6.18 machines have it...), it doesn't help putting it in
sysctl.conf. What kernel version are you using?

Alternatively, I guess you could add to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf a
line that says:
blacklist ipv6
then reboot. That should prevent the module from being loaded in the
first place. If you compiled your own kernel and built in support for
IPv6, you might just disable IPv6 for iceweasel. Go to about:config and
enable network.dns.disableIPv6.
Either that, or get a Debian kernel. :-)
