While you can't upgrade Iceweasel without messing your system a bit, you do can install Firefox 5. I've already done in a 64-bits Lenny and works like a charm.

Change Iceweasel identification
HI, I'm running Lenny with Iceweasel 3.0.6. I understand that I can't upgrade the browser without upgrading to sid, which I'm not willing to do at this time. Problem that I am having is that when I access yahoo mail, it tells me that in order to use the new version of yahoo mail, I have to use firefox (there are some other choices, but I don't want to install another browser). How can I have sites identify iceweasel 3.0.6 as firefox so that I can access the features of sites that are blocked from me? thanks, Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

In about:config, I have a setting for 'general.useragent.extra.firefox', the value of which I set to 'Firefox/4.0' (I'm using the 4.0 version of Iceweasel). Perhaps that setting would help?

Install an addon like User Agent Switcher or something like that so you can change your user agent string to say firefox. Or go to mozilla.debian.net for more updated iceweasel packages. You could also run the FF binary from Mozilla right out of your home directory without affecting your system install. Lenny is old stable so you'll stop getting security updates in less than a year. You may want to plan an upgrade to squeeze in the near future. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
