Iceweasel is a fork of Firefox with the following purpose :
 1. backporting of security fixes to declared Debian stable version.
 1. no inclusion of trademarked Mozilla artwork (because of #1 above)

Notes: Debian Iceweasel Wiki Original Post Stating This

Debian has two problems with Firefox. Firefox's logo and name is trademarked and FF wanted Debian to follow the Firefox patch structure/update cycle. That is if Debian wanted to patch the browser the would have to get Firefox's approval. While the logo thing did not bother me. The patch thing did. I originally wanted to use Firefox direct from source and at one point I did.

Now I like the new Iceweasel.
