I don't have Iceweasel 12 in wheezy, the stock browser is still 10.0.x,
you have to be using the backported/debian mozilla version.

I don't have any problem with Firefox and the closed source nvidia
(173.14) driver. The only inconvenient is that Firefox cannotenable the
3D capabilities (and I don't miss them) due to the old driver. Other than
that, it works like a charm.

I also have a couple of machines with "nv" driver and firefox is still
fast as hell there.
