I want to install firefox on debian wheezy.

According to this guide http://mozilla.debian.net/, I added source. My current source list is

Code: Select all

## DEBIAN
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free
#deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib non-free



## DEBIAN SECURITY
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian experimental main
I did

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install -t experimental iceweasel
I get

I tried installing xulrunner

Easier to use Synaptic.

Mark Iceweasel , then Force the versions of xulrunner and libmozjs15d

Or you can try:
apt-get -t experimental install iceweasel xulrunner-15.0 libmozjs15d

I think the problem you are running into has to do with wheezy being frozen.

You are probably going to have to add a repo for sid.
