Well, after I tried
- once downloading all packages which firefox and gnome-terminal depends on
- and then re-upgrading all of them one by one

then for me:
- for firefox/thunderbird issue, nspr
- for gnome-terminal issue, vte
seems the culprits.

For nspr, recompiling with replacing "-O2" by "-O" seems good, while
for vte this does not work for me.
