Are you running a 32 bits system? 

If yes, you could first try the "easy" path: 

1/ Download Flash Player from Adobe site
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflash

2/ Unpack the "tar.gz" file and put the "libflashplayer.so" into your "~/
mozilla/plugins/" folder (if not present, just create it).

3/ Launch Icewasel and test.

Note: This should work on Iceweasel 3.0.x releases, I have not tested 
with the older ones (2.x).

Note 2: Remember that you can also download the latest version of Firefox 
from Mozilla site (usually no installation needed, just "click&run").
