Hope this helps.

Ubuntu and Debian are not binary compatible. Using Ubuntu repositories in Debian, and vice versa, can mess up your system. If you want to use the latest Firefox/Iceweasel then use the Experimental repository, there is currently Iceweasel 3.6.12 available, and it is running just fine here.

You can do that with just typing:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
