Semi-forced upgrade of browser - problematic when it is Iceweasel

[Omer Zak]

Today when I visited http://www.youtube.com/, I was greeted by a message
that my browser will be unsupported soon, and my browser was the current
Iceweasel 3 version from Debian Lenny.

The earliest Firefox version to be supported is Firefox 3.6.
I quickly browsed http://backports.org/dokuwiki/doku.php (the Debian
Backports), and found that Firefox 3.5.6 was backported to Debian Lenny
as Iceweasel 3.5.6.  So I installed it to ease future upgrade to
Iceweasel 3.6 once it is available.

So now I hope that someone will backport and create Iceweasel 3.6 before
YouTube cuts off all support for non-HTML5-compliant browsers.
Otherwise, I may have to install Firefox 3.6 not as a Debian package.

                                                          --- Omer
P.S.: the upgrade is only semi-forced because YouTube is a Nice To Have
rather than Essential.
