I know there is a more eloquent way to do it but you can add the sources list for the unstable tree, update and then .... apt-get install mozilla/unstable However, you can either go back and remove the sources for the unstable distribution or always do apt-get -t testing update or dist-upgrade. I always add a -u too see what is being silently upgraded, it will tip you off if 120 packages are going to be upgraded you might be on that long road to unstable. --mike
