When will Iceweasel 3.5 come to Debian Lenny? :P

I hope this bug

New upstream versions usually start their carreer in sid and migrate to
testing when they are mature enough (no bugs for x days)...
Nearly no chance to get it into stable...

Never. The concept of Debian stable is to have stable software, and
therefore also stable version numbers.

If you really need/want iceweasel 3.5 you could either hope for a
backport [1] (I don't know if and when this will happen) or upgrade your
whole system to unstable. This has other disadvantages (more 'new' bugs,
less stable system, more upgrades on a daily basis etc.), though.

Cheers,
Johannes

Or, run a mixed system.  I run stable for most things, but pull in KDE 4.2
(originally from experimental, now from testing).  I wrote a bit about my
setup last week on my blog (link in .sig), but there are more comprehensive
guides to a mixed system on the Debian wiki, IIRC.

Unless I'm reading that page wrong, the version of iceweasel in Sid is 3.0.11,
NOT 3.5.

In my experience, running a mixed system is trickier than getting the
program you need directly from the source (especially in cases where the
desired program isn't even in unstable yet!). At least for projects like
Firefox and OpenOffice, which are generally pretty straightforward to
install.

In the case of Firefox 3.5, it's pretty simple:

 download it from getfirefox.com
 extract it:
   tar -xvjf firefox-3.5.tar.bz2
 run firefox with:
   ~./firefox/firefox

You can put a symlink to ~/firefox/firefox in ~/bin/ or wherever is
convenient, or if you use a desktop with icons, add one that points to
~/firefox/firefox, and you're all done.

I just did that this morning. When Iceweasel 3.5 is ready for my testing
system, I'll install that as usual and delete ~/firefox/

Cheers,

Tyler

By the way, how could I update Iceweasel browser in order to always run a safer version in my machine ?

Is it through "apt-get update" ?

Thanks

Yes. The stable version of iceweasel gets security updates from debian's
security team. The security fixes are backported to the version in
lenny/stable. The idea is that no new features and/or bugs and/or
(unknown) security problems are introduced into a stable debian system.

Upstream (mozilla) always fix security issues with a new version that
usually also contains new features and thus may contain new bugs etc.

A Lenny backport is a step closer, as it was just uploaded to experimental:

And even better, Mike Hommey just posted step-by-step instructions on installing
Iceweasel 3.5 on Lenny:
