How do you come to the conclusion that firefox/iceweasel is less secure than iceape?
The only way that Firefox could get onto an Etch system is that the user downloaded it from www.mozilla.com and installed it. The user would then have to be diligent in checking for updates and installing them whereas Iceape would be updated as part of the (regular ?) "apt-get update" procedure.
Now that I think about it, Firefox has it own incremental updating feature that, if the user hasn't turned it off, will prompt for updates, so Firefox 2.0.x should be just about as up-to-date as Iceape.
