iceweasel (firefox) browser re-installation

Question

I uninstalled my browser (iceweasel) from Add/Remove Software option in Kali Linux.At the time of removal it asked for one dependent package also to be uninstalled that I don't remember.

But now when I am re-installing it as per instruction given on its official Site , it's giving the following error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package iceweasel is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source
E: Package 'iceweasel' has no installation candidate

Any suggestions !!!

Solution

Iceweasel has been deprecated and replaced with vanilla Firefox, to install it use: sudo apt update && sudo apt install firefox-esr

Don't you need a space after apt-get and before -f?
