Might I suggest not touching the installed iceweasel and just
ln -s /opt/firefox/firefox /home/<your-user>/bin/firefox
Because of this snippet in ~/.profile it will have the same effect, but
won't be overwritten on upgrades:
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
Of course, you also have to make sure ~/.profile is sourced by your DM,
otherwise you need to
echo '. ~/.profile' >> .xsessionrc
Kind regards,
Andrei
