  I get these from debian-multimedia.org.

  You don't need a new browser, you just need to clear the lock 
file.  Look in your "profile", in $HOME/.mozilla/firefox.  Delete
everything with "lock" in the name, but be careful, your bookmarks
and browser state are in here too.  If you don't value your bookmarks,
you can just trash this whole directory and start over, but that's
rather extreme, of course.

  For newer iceweasels, there are packages at mozilla.debian.net, although
a word of warning, I am currently having a minor issue with the flash
plug-in on iceweasel 6.0.2 on 64-bit "squeeze" -- occasional random crashes,
it's usable, but annoying.
