You have to install the .xpi locale file manually in Icecat.
In other words you have to open this file 
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/linux-i686/xpi/fr.xpi 
directly inside IceCat.

You need to create a link to the swfdec .so plugin in the IceCat plugins 
directory.
The file you need should be (at least under Debian) 
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so.

Assuming you are in the icecat directory, execute this command:
"ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so 
plugins/libswfdecmozilla.so"
