Today I learned that Debian version of Firefox is called Iceweasel. That is all.

@koshieTheKonsoleCat @ZedFable Yes, a decade-long Nerd War™ between Mozilla and Debian finally ended last year. See https://lwn.net/Articles/676799/ for the sorry details.
@jalefkowit @koshieTheKonsoleCat Interesting read! I thought I had tried the apt-get install firefox and it didn't work, so maybe something in my build is still behind? Anyway, thanks for the insight!
@ZedFable @jalefkowit Try firefox-esr (52 on testing, 45 on stable), and add the Mozilla repo to get the last Firefox on Debian: https://mozilla.debian.net/
@ZedFable Not true anymore. Now it's the official Firefox release with Debian addition and it's called Firefox.
Or maybe that's in stable? I forgot... But in the next years, forget Iceweasel. The same for Icedove which is Thunderbird.
