bugfix/fix_iceweasel_prefs_for_0_18 fixes the regressions we've
detected in 0.18~rc1 (JS browser type leak, iceweasel prefs not
applied). It actually even does a bit more: a bunch of our iceweasel
prefs were not applied in 0.17.2 either, and this branch fixes it too.

Note that in the end, to make sure I was not introducing any other
prefs regression, I've made a survey of all our (197) iceweasel prefs
to verify that they were set to the value we have in Git. With this
branch applied, it's almost the case. See todo/cleanup_iceweasel_prefs
for the exceptions and the next possible steps (post 0.18) on
this topic.

Candidate for 0.18, so please merge into testing and devel.

Cheers,
