I just backported the Spectre mitigation from Firefox 57.0.4 to IceCat,
and pushed it to master here:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=c23243fccd4f73430ca06a862acd33c020c8ed17
I recommend that you upgrade your IceCat packages, and furthermore that
you install NoScript and avoid using Javascript except when needed.
