"3.5" is now deprecated/unssupported, should not be used.
"esr" must point to te enterprise Mozilla versions (extended support¹)
"release" should point to the usual Mozilla release
"beta" is for Mozilla beta
"aurora" is for Mozilla aurora channel (it breaks more often than beta)
Beta and aurora are testing versions. Are you sue you want to use any of
those in your Squeeze?

As I already pointed, esr is for the enterprise version which is now at
10.x so that should be fine. Are you sure you selected the right version?

There shouldn't be any conflicts between the security updates when using
the backports repository... can you please send the output of what you
get when using aptitude interactively? :-?
