RPi 2 - Raspbian Jessie

I installed IceWeasel a few days ago. It works well enough, but it's based on Firefox 38 which is pretty outdated and doesn't support certain add-ons. Apparently, IceWeasel is no longer being developed, and the official Firefox is now the thing to use.

I found the http://mozilla.debian.net/ site and added "deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ jessie-backports firefox-release" to my sources.list file. However, when I do an apt-get update I get "Failed to fetch http://mozilla.debian.net/dists/jessie- ... f/Packages 404 Not Found".

So, is there just not a suitable Firefox version for the Pi yet, am I using the wrong source?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

the important bit is
/binary-armhf/Packages
they do not publish armhf versions

Actually IceWeasel is based of Firefox 38 ESR which is different to Desktop Releases

Actually Debian Firefox ESR will be in Debian Stretch, so IceWeasel will likely have another ESR Release in Jessie or renamed Firefox

So is it even possible to get an updated version of Firefox/Iceweasel on the Pi right now?

Not on the Pi that is the hardware.

Ask Ubuntu-Mate OS Community what version is shipped in their Distro.

The following firefox-45 version can be installed on Raspbian:
http://ports.ubuntu.com/pool/main/f/fir ... _armhf.deb

Use gdebi for installation. On my system it shows no missing dependencies.
Web video doesn't work (lagging terribly).
