I agree. AFAIK, the Mozilla binary is completely self-contained, thus not requiring any external libraries. >> So how does one use the latest version of this web browser on Stable ? If I were you, I would temporarily enable testing, unstable and experimental repos, grab iceweasel and dependencies from experimental and then disabling the repos. You could always try and download the individual packages from a mirror and install them with dpkg, but it can be quite tricky to get all dependencies this way.
