http://mozilla.debian.net might also be of interest -- iceweasel 4.0 for squeeze (wheezy and sid) has been there for a while and iceweasel 5.0 for squeeze, wheezy and sid was uploaded a few days ago.

How about?

http://mozilla.debian.net/

Why not simply install the iceweasel 5 backport ?

5.0 was released for Debian Stable via backports. http://mozilla.debian.net

Try http://mozilla.debian.net/ . It provides packages of various Firefox versions for various Debian versions. In particular, it has Firefox 5.0 packages for Squeeze.

The Debian Mozilla team has iceweasel 5.0 packaged for stable/squeeze: http://mozilla.debian.net/

Use mozila.debian.net.

How embarrassing.

I knew backports existed, but I was not aware of that CNAME, or the fact that they were available so very quickly.

Oh well...

Please, if you want (of course), update your post to tell about mozilla.debian.net, it is working fine ... and I don't think is a good idea having a .deb installed with dpkg because updates won't go to your Debian Computer !

Thanks !

javibarroso: I rarely update posts unless they are glaringly wrong, people who read the comments will see my omission clearly enough!

Randomly installing .deb packages does mean updates aren't applied, but in this case I expect there isn't going to need to be one. That said I did create a mini apt repository for myself..

Just for completeness: if you're using Ubuntu, there a several PPAs for each of Firefox's new channels (Stable, Beta, and Aurora), just like mozilla.debian.net: Following Firefox's New Development Channels with Ubuntu.

I’ve done “one better” for work and we have a “source”
package with the binaries for Firefoxâ„¢ 1.5 upto the nightly
builds of aurora (currently 6.0alpha) and trunk (7.0alpha),
which will build a binary package per version each, plus a
common package and one that pulls them all.

No idea whether it’d be legal to publish that, though, as
it contains no source in itself (not in Debian anyway, but
I’m wary of puttint it up at all, even though all of its
content is floaring around somewhere on the ’net). Advice?
I’d be happy to provide this.

Best thing: it doesn’t collide with a system-installed
iceweasel (or Kubuntu firefox-3.0 package shipping grr
a firefox 3.6), so you can still use them, along with
the distro’s security support.

And: you can run several versions of Firefox in parallel.
They use profiles like ff20, ff35, ff50, etc. by default
and run with -no-remote.

This is used heavily by our QA department for testing
usability of web “applications” with the FF versions
specified in the original documents (often that is 1.5
or 2.0, don’t laugh, but these are contracts).

It's still useful even though mozilla.debian.net provides iceweasel - for those who prefer official firefox with mozilla branding for example.
Some ideas:
- rename it to firefox-wrapper or so
- install firefox icon into /usr/share/applications/...
- drop '5.0' from package name, as it will work with virtually every version of firefox.

Pawel - I've done most of that :

• http://packages.steve.org.uk/firefox-wrapper/

Note that the official iceweasel packages will execute a program named "firefox.real" if installed, and only execute iceweasel if that doesn't exist. So if you make a symlink from firefox.real to Mozilla's firefox binary, it will integrate nicely with the system.
