If you want to run more up to date versions of Firefox on Debian stable you
could always add in the Debian Mozilla Team's repos.

http://mozilla.debian.net/

>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...
;)

Cheers,
Jason
