You can find iceweasel 9.0.1 backports on:
http://mozilla.debian.net/

For Chromium, inofficial backports are available as well from a 3rd party person.You could also run Chrome instead, if you don't have a problem with that.

MongoDB is fairly up-to-date in backports:

mongodb | 1:2.0.0-2~bpo60+1 | backports/squeeze | source, amd64, i386

Thanks for that! I certainly have a use for Iceweasel 9.0.1. I am already using Chrome at the moment, it is nice and has a Debian repo.

Same for MongoDB: they keep their own repo; even better than Chrome because this one is Free software. By the way, somebody should tell these guys.

It's a wiki, you can add it yourself.
