Hi Francesco,

This is intentional as the tracking is by source package. The firefox 
source package is still vulnerable and is still both in unstable and 
testing. However the firefox binary package in unstable is created from 
the iceweasel source package and therefore has fewer vulnerabilities than 
the the firefox binary package in testing.

There is no page in the security bug tracker that shows an overview over 
vulnerabilities in binary packages. However debsecan should give you this 
information (I think).

HTH.

Cheers,
Stefan
