That's not true - iceweasel has some security tweaks in it's source code, this fact made Debian team to rebrand to iceweasel and change artwork because of incompatibility with mozilla license.
with respect,

The minor patches had nothing to do with the rebranding - the fact that the artwork violated DFSG meant that it couldn't be used and Mozilla refuses to allow use of the name without use of the artwork.

That's the binary executable, but you don't run it directly. You run the 'firefox' script, which sets up the environment before calling the executable.
I use Shiretoko/3.1b3pre. I have always used the beta version of firefox because it is generally faster than stable. I just put it in /opt and update /usr/bin/firefox to link to the binary in /opt/firefox. And then I made /usr/bin/iceweasel a link to /usr/bin/firefox. And I also un-installed iceweasel, otherwise every time it updated it messed up my links in /usr/bin.

Nope - it's brain dead browser detection on the part of the site. If they were simply checking for a gecko-engined browser rather than parsing on the browser name they'd be fine. Change your User Agent string (in iceweasel) to firefox and you'll see that they render identically.
Thanks. Yes I see that now. But the debate still goes on. Iceweasel is not Firefox. Or should I say why should we have to change the user string in Iceweasel it should be the same as Firefox (at least look the same on some websites). So they are different.
