If you are running a 32-bits kernel, yes. Go Firefox, download the package, uncompress it anywhere (I've got it in my user's home Desktop) and just "launch" the app. This method does not require you to install the package so you can still keep your Iceweasel installation in parallel. For the 64-bits flavour of Firefox I was told here that you can download the package from the "nightly builds" and proceed as above.
