There's 522 versions of Linux according to this list, I'm sure that's not all of them, either. Won't it be great if you get 522 versions of Firefox too.

Another non problem.

Open Synaptic, click on Iceweasel, choose Mark for Complete Removal, apply.

Download Firefox from mozilla.com

Unzip and run.

2 minutes, problem solved.

1) 522 diferent distors, not versions. There is a difference! many distros are very compatable with each other For example RedHat, Fedora, and Mandriva all use RPM as their updater.

2) Nearly 50% of Linux users use either Mandriva, Suse, or Fedora. The top ten versions by use account for more than 80% of Linux users and the top twenty distros by use account for more than 92% of users. so while there might be 522 distros many are just peoples toys distros.
