    Iceweasel is exactly the same as firefox. They have the same source code, but Debian does not use the Firefox brand name, because they disagree with the Mozilla license.

    If you must have Firefox > DeviceGuru » Adding REAL Firefox to Debian Lenny - DeviceGuru Adding REAL Firefox to Debian Lenny

    All I do is download Firefox, extract it to my /home. used the Firefox.desktop from the above link, ln -s /usr/lib/iceweasel/plugins /home/craig/Downloads/firefox/plugins
    opened iceweasel with iceweasel -profilemanager and created a profile for Firefox
    copied my iceweasel profile to the new firefox profile

    5 minutes work and now I have firefox 3.5.1
