Starting today [1], wheezy's iceweasel version was increased to
24.3.0esr-1~deb7u1, to match current ESR of Mozilla's firefox.
Side effect of this bump is that iceweasel started to depend on
xulrunner-24.0 package, instead of original xulrunner-10.0 (or
xulrunner-17.0, which was previous ESR).
'apt-get update' is just doing what it is told to do - upgrade installed
packages, but don't install new packages or remove old ones.
To upgrade iceweasel, you'll need to:
1) Invoke 'apt-get dist-upgrade', to allow apt to install all new
dependencies.
2) Optionally, invoke 'apt-get autoremove --purge', to remove old
xulrunner.
