Yes, and that was actually what I used to do when i used Firefox on Debian. However I found that the newer binaries from the Firefox website were compiled against GTK libs that were newer than what was in stable. Using the repos you don't have to worry about that problem.<div>

Or you can just go to mozilla site, download firefox and extract
tar.gz into your /opt/ directory.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

<div>From the site you can select what you want, add the lines to
your sources.list and then apt-get your way to a newer browser.
Keep in mind it will be branded Iceweasel since they are Debian
packages but all the Firefox plugins should work. Not 100% sure
though as I use Chromium on testing... ;)</div>

stable, is that they only have<br>
Firefox Browser 3.5.14.<br>
<br>
With the new release policy of browsers (Releasing new ones
all the<br>
time), some web sites complain that you have too old of a
version of a<br>
browser ie. Google Plus.<br>
.<br>
I tried using Firefox on Debian Stable and it complained on
the Google<br>
Plus web site that it was too low of a version. IIcan see
more sites<br>
doing this. I wonder if debian will change there policy on
Web<br>
Browsers regarding what is stable or not to be more inlined
with Web<br>
Browser release strategy?<br>
<br>
Either way Chrome still worked :)<br>
