Firefox is the trademarked name and logo of the Mozilla corporation. No one else is allowed to use that name or logo. Therefore Debian compiles it with the Iceweasel name in order to comply with the legalities. For the details see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation_software_rebranded_by_the_Debian_project For our intents and purposes Firefox and Iceweasel are the same thing. Iceweasel is the Firefox web browser. We spell it iceweasel but pronounce it firefox. This is not completely unlike that Google distributes their branded and trademarked web browser Chrome while others only distribute the free(dom) web browser Chromium. Bob
