No, better solution - remove the xul-ext-sync package and install it from
within iceweasel.

Then I have a working sync across all possible platforms.

Yes, from my POV you can close this bug or do whatever, I will not use
the packaged version anymore, since it is a pain to keep in sync
with other computers.

Be reminded that firefox on other platforms automatically (by default, if not
turned off) updates plugins, so keeping them at 1.4 is not practical.

Case closed for me, I see no advantage in using the Debian package, so
it be gone.

Best wishes
