Are you trying to use FF from experimental repo of mozilla in a purely debian stable release? That's bound to raise conflicts between its required libs. You may add sid and experimental to you source list and create a preferences file (/etc/apt/preferences.d/firefox). Read the man pages to learn how to do it. Also, there is a package named "tiger" which is a collection of scripts that you can run to look for vulnerabilities on you machine. Finally, you may comment out (#) deb-src lines if you are not compiling software yourself.

I've noticed iceweasel has been held back for a while, is there a problem with the repositories at present? If there isn't, how can I solve this?root@fekete:~# dpkg -l | awk '/^i/ {print $2}' |xargs apt-get --reinstall installReading package lists... DoneBuilding dependency treeReading state information...
