Same for me to feel sorry for my own late reply --- I thought nobody is gonna answer this, but I am surprised that you still remember all this 5 days later. Some experiment that you have suggested does churn out some interesting result. I checked with Sage 3.3.rc0, which ships jsMath v3.6a and <http://homepage.univie.ac.at/Franz.Vesely/cp_tut/ nol2/new/c0pr_s0pr.html>, which ships jsMath v3.3c . It turns out that, when I did "mv ~/.fonts ~/fonts" (and did restart Firefox 3.0.6) the "Use Native TeX Fonts" option could be enabled on the univie website, but not on sagenb (jsMath v3.6a). Other than that I tried Epiphany 2.24.3 with gecko, which still failed to work with sagenb's jsMath v3.6a though.
Based on the aboved experiment, I would suggest the issue should be with jsMath but not Firefox, as the jsMath with lower version number works out well. Hence, based on Tim's Debian packaging effort, I would say that it is probably more worthwhile not to ship sage a gigantic bundle, but as individual packages. Hope that this helps.
