Install Iceweasel Web browser in Debian

What is Iceweasel ?

Iceweasel is a free software derivation of the Mozilla Firefox web browser. Along with Gnuzilla it is the GNU attempt to create a version of Firefox which can be used by free software GNU/Linux and UNIX software distributions. It removes the unfree artwork and plugins that free software advocates considered to be problematic. Iceweasel is a fork of Firefox but will continue to synchronize with upstream releases in the future.
