I'd like to install the Firefox binary and am wondering if I can just do so from a repository so it gets regular updates. Help appreciated. BTW- can we please skip comments about Iceweasel for reasons left unmentioned? :-)
I think you will to have to do that manually. There is a repo for Iceweasel, but I am not aware of an extra repo for Firefox. If you run Debian Testing it may be possible to get Firefox from LMDE, for Stable I don't know if that will work, but normally you shouldn't mix Stable with Testing.

To Install Latest Firefox on Debian
===================================
um, sorry to intrude.
is there an easy way of installing Iceweasel from unstable in Debian testing, without adding whole unstable repo in sources.list?
(don't have flatrate here, simple 'apt-get update' eats a lot of net)

Add the Unstable repo and pin it to a lower priority than the Testing repo. Then use the -t option of apt-get to install Iceweasel from the unstable repo.
