Why Icyweasel ?
I finally found a live distro that recognize my WiFi card automatically but surprise, no Firefox, no flash and I cant set the keyboard for my country !
I just dont get it...

I've also had the same question. Not hard to find discussion - here is one: http://n01getsout.com/blog/2006/11/1...efox-on-debian Initially, I was running quite a few plugins and it was important to be able to run the latest FF on different platforms, so I installed FF from the download and created a shortcut on the desktop. However, latest plugins are not as important now, might try experimenting with Iceweasel again. If someone has a simplified version of the "scoop" might help us keep in our minds. Dave

Greetings, Denver Dave & Fantasio.
Iceweasel is just a de-branded Firefox without Flash automatically installed.
Iceweasel is usually included by default even on the LiveCD-size Knoppix.
Flash is easily installed via MainMenu>Knoppix>Install Components or via
Synaptic if you prefer, where it's included; it's called flashplugin-nonfree.
IIRC, Iceweasel will accept any of the plugins that are offered by Firefox.
There is really no (functional) reason to prefer one or the other if they share the
same version of Mozilla machinery. Iceweasel in Knoppix 7.0.5 is Mozilla version 10.
You can find and download Firefox versions 19 or 20 for comparison, and these
will find & share any bookmarks you may have previously established on Iceweasel.
If you are comparing browsers, give Chromium a try. The Google translate function
is much superior to that of Firefox, IMO. This browser is functionally different
than the Mozilla browsers.
Cheers.

Go to /mnt-system/KNOPPIX/ and read knoppix-cheatcodes.txt.

How does one find out the mozilla version behind each version of firefox so as to do a comparison with IceWeasel?

http://wiki.debian.org/Iceweasel
This should correct my error in previous post.
Iceweasel versions seem to track _Firefox_ versions.
