It's still not relevant to my issue. To run icecat using your example 
you should change one parameter to 
"--share=$HOME/.mozilla=$HOME/.mozilla" but again with the default 
"security.sandbox.content.level=4" the fonts will be tofued. I think 
once the issue could be fixed with simpler command, i.e. 'guix 
environment --pure --ad-hoc icecat -- icecat' than it would be easier to 
port the solution on the --container case.

Kind regards!
Martin
