Hi Omer, Well, for home use you can use testing instead of stable to get more updated software. In that case, you might want to follow the security team's policy about testing.
Firefox/iceweasel 3.6 won't enter unstable in the near future, as this requires an update for xul, which is also used by thunerbird/icedove. The maintainer said he is focused on 3.5.8 for the next stable.
