D'oh! I thought I already had sid/unstable in my apt sources, but it 
turned out to  be some other repository with 'sid main' at the end of 
the line.

Now I've added the sid repository, and with 'apt-get install -t 
experimental iceweasel xulrunner-18.0 libnss3/sid' I ended up with a 
working Iceweasel/release version.

Thank you for your quick reply and pointing me into the right direction.
