After upgrading Iceweasel 11 as described on mozilla.debian.net we have
found 1 more 4TB sparse file which was created by iceweasel 11.0
(11.0-4~bpo60+1, prefs.js: user_pref("extensions.lastAppVersion", "11.0")).

Therefore I think the problem might either be one of the patches where
Iceweasel differs from vanilla Firefox, a bug that was reintroduced in
version 11 or the libsqlite from Debian.
