I'm not clear as to that statement's implication ... Can you please
clarify what's not working with Firefox+SPDY ?  Do I need to
change/add something to headers in FF config as well?

Fwiw, I already have installed this extension:

  https://github.com/chengsun/moz-spdy-indicator

Does that not address this issue?

ok

That's useful to know.  Do you have some more detail on this?  I can
take it up @firebug if it hasn't been already

I've added that stanza to my nginx "http{..." conf.  Cleared
all-caches & restarted server.

I'm still seeing no gzip headers:

Compression is, atm, handled at my stack's Apache 24X backend.
