You can get the tarball from the Mozilla site. I move it to
/usr/local/lib and untar it from there. Note that since Iceweasel
pretends to be firefox, you need to explicitly use the firefox
executable from the tarball, or you will still get Iceweasel.
I use the following method:
1. Download and untar the tarball from Mozilla site, as above
2. Put a soft link in ~/bin named firefox and link to the directory
created in step 1.
3. Call the program with ~/bin/firefox/firefox
I find that from LXDE's Application Launchbar I need to use the fully
qualified path to the executable, even though ~/bin is in my path. You
may, or may not have to do this.
