Re: normal firefox for debian lenny 64bit?
"Lastly, for the real question: why are you on Lenny? Institution mandate? Narrow pipe? Fear of Testing breakage?"
What do you suggest? Is sid good for a Desktop environment? :O
I just want to upgrade e.g.: Iceweasel, because it has a bug, related to adblock plus element hiding helper....it's just a "little" thing, but theres already Firefox _3.5_. (I hope they the bug in that version)

So I must install a trillion dependencies from unstable, to get a normal up-to-date browser under Lenny?
Yes. Running a mixed Lenny/experimental system is a recipe for disaster.
I'd deinstall iceweasel and xulrunner, then install the FF binary directly from mozilla.org.
Same with OOo3 (though I'd look first try www.go-oo.org), if you want the latest version.
