Installing Iceweasel in Debian
I have found Iceweasel debian packages from here
Download latest available package from this
#wget http://safeweb.sitesled.com/iceweasel/builds/iceweasel_1.5.0.8pre-2.deb
once you download this you can install using the following command
#dpkg -i iceweasel_1.5.0.8pre-2.deb
This will complete the installation.
If you want to open Iceweasel go to Applications—>Internet—>Iceweasel you can see this in the following screen
Iceweasel in Action
If you are using debian unstable version you can install using the following command
#apt-get install iceweasel iceweasel-gnome-support
Installing Iceweasel in Ubuntu

I’m using Debian Etch on all the machines in an office and we’ve just been locked out of all the on-line banking facilities because Iceweasel is apparently not a recognised web-browser. Doh! Extremely inconvenient…

After the command “sudo dpkg -i iceweasel_1.5.0.8pre-2.deb”, it give me this error:
dpkg: regarding iceweasel_1.5.0.8pre-2.deb containing iceweasel:
hunspell-en-us conflicts with iceweasel (<< 2.0.0.3-2)
iceweasel (version 1.5.0.8pre-2) is to be installed.
dpkg: error processing iceweasel_1.5.0.8pre-2.deb (–install):
conflicting packages – not installing iceweasel
Errors were encountered while processing:
iceweasel_1.5.0.8pre-2.deb
Could you please tell me what I could do?

you can remove hunspell-en-us using
sudo apt-get remove hunspell-en-us
sudo apt-get autoremove
