Please contact the Debian LTS people, and if this fix is not already in
the priority queue, you could offer to sponsor the work required or
something.

Gene, may I humbly suggest you should get a new box for non-Linux-CNC
work, and keep that wheezy box you use for Linux-CNC off the grid so
that it doesn't become a liability in the future?
You will be happier in the medium/long term after the investment in the
new box pays itself off, Debian jessie should work much better overall
for you for desktopish things (i.e. not Linux-CNC), and the rest of us
will be happier even sooner because we will have less support requests
related to oldstable to attend to[1] ;-)
Paypal works just fine with firefox in a standard Debian 8.6 install.
[1] Any work done for stable and unstable/testing _usually_ helps a lot
more people than work done for oldstable.
