So far as I can see, you can't, not in Wheezy. The one you have is the most recent available via the repo. http://mozilla.debian.net/
You could always use Firefox, as is now recommended. For instructions see the hyperlink I have referenced. That will give you 45.0.1. You could presumably download iceweasel_44.0.2-1~bpo70+1_i386.deb and install it with dpkg -i, but why? If Debian and Mozilla have made up, why not just accept it and use Firefox as Debian is now telling you to do? It takes a bit of getting used to, but why perpetuate a quarrel which is over? Lisi
