Tom -
I'm not going to suggest to what to do only what I have done as an
alternative.
I myself abandoned the Debian-stamp of Firefox (Ice-whatever) in favor
of a direct replacement from Mozilla.
I run a pure Mozilla T-Bird, Firefox, and Sunbird. For me, it's the
easiest way to keep current and I don't have to bother with the
anomalies of IceW from Lenny (I don't know it it carried over to
Squeeze).
If interested; simply grab your cup of tea from Mozilla, extract it,
move the Mozilla parent dir (Firefox for example) and move it to /opt.
Again, this is my preference and a presented alternative.
Good luck mate.
