This is somewhat misleading. All Debian has done is change the name - and
they haven't done even that very thoroughly. I can still type "Firefox" in
the Run window available at alt-2 in KDE and get it - it just says Iceweasel
at the top of most of the pages. (Tho' not all!) And all sites continue to
recognise it as Firefox.
