Palemoon. SCNR; jokes aside:

Iceweasel, but just Firefox and Firefox-ESR.
Quote from
https://wiki.debian.org/Iceweasel:
| As documented at the article The end of the Iceweasel Age[1],
| Firefox is now in Debian again with the official name and
| branding.
|
| At Mozilla's request (see 815006), Debian now contains Mozilla
| “Firefox ESR” (Extended Support Release) as the firefox-esr
| package. Normal Debian support policies, including patches for
| bug fixes, apply to the package.
|
| [...]
|
| In Debian Stretch and later, the package iceweasel is a
| transitional package which installs the firefox-esr package.
| As of 9th of June, 2016 the package Firefox-ESR replaces
| Iceweasel, and is in Wheezy and Jessie security repositories.
