Folk,

http://mozilla.debian.net/ instructs, "... add the following entry ...
  deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ wheezy-backports iceweasel-release
... install [iceweasel] with the following commands:

    $ apt-get update
    $ apt-get install -t wheezy-backports iceweasel"
 
The manual for sources.list states "list sources in order of preference, with the 
most preferred source listed first."  If the source entry for backports iceweasel 
preceeds the older source entry, then is "apt-get install -t ..." necessary?  
Won't an ordinary system update suffice?

Regards,                           ... Peter E.
