Change 201711 had a related patch set uploaded (by Hashar):
contint: update browsers package names for Jessie

firefox -> iceweasel
chromium-browser -> chromium

This also affects the global binaries from shell. We'll need individual projects to ensure that whatever frameworks they use support these alternate names (or provide aliases to them in the default PATH). I believe this support is currently not present.

Do not bother installing phantomjs on Jessie. It is not available and we are going to drop its usage entirely.

PhantomJS will still be used by some tests as additional browser. That is unlikely to change. However, at least for npm builds, this is not an issue since it installs phantomjs via an npm package in the local workspace and runs it from there.

Solved! That also made firefox to be magically upgraded just like chromium.

Labs instance integration-slave-jessie-1001 is all happy about it.
