For desktop-installations it's IMO better to just run testing or unstable if you're somewhat knowledgeable. You know, they say there are three flavors of debian: rusty, stale and broken. Probably should add a fourth fossilized flavor ;)

I have been installing from the tarballs provided by mozilla.

Per mozilla.debian.net, I added the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

     deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ jessie-backports firefox-release

I do not have any testing or unstable lines in /etc/apt/sources.list

<http://mozilla.debian.net/pkg-mozilla-archive-keyring_1.1_all.deb>. 
Once installed, you can check the key with the following command
