I don't think so :-?

To my understanding, they are treated independently from the official 
Debian security repository.

http://backports-master.debian.org/FAQ/

Q: Why are there no more backports of Mozilla products anymore?

A: Backports of Mozilla products (Firefox, Thunderbird, Seamonkey; aka 
Iceweasel, Icedove, Iceape) are maintained by the Debian Mozilla Team 
independently on mozilla.debian.net, because the offered variety of 
version exceeds what is possible within the rules for Debian Backports as 
it e.g. includes backports of packages not yet in testing or beta and 
even alpha releases.
