we are on the transition of the core library libstdc++ to version 5.x,
Iceweasel and much more packages are depend on this library.

https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/08/msg00000.html

So if you want to install Iceweasel from experimental you would have to
install all the dependencies from experimental. If you are unsure I
would suggest to simply wait a few weeks until the transition is over.

@Mike
Maybe you could expand m.d.n with some information about the transition?
