Have a look at:

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=iceweasel;dist=stable

Now: how did I find out? Well, I first went to

  https://bugs.debian.org/

entered iceweasel and noticed the ";dist=unstable" at the end. Yeah,
looking at the URL is considered arcane these days [1]. Then I
searched for Iceweasel and noticed this ";dist=unstable" at the end
of the resulting URL. "Oh, lookee" I thought, and tried and changed
it to ";dist=stable" (which is already URL hacking, and might land
us in jail in a not-so-distant future).

It works!

[1] There is some irony in this text. Please consider that it's NOT
  PERSONAL, i.e. not directed at you. Rather at the general dumbing
  down of things in the name of "user experience": browsers presenting
  URL bars which are smaller and smaller, hiding parts of the URL by
  default, moving info to invisible parts (address --> cookies), web
  sites generally evolving into "apps". That said, Debian web pages
  (and the Debian infrastructure) is pretty refreshing in its
  transparency -- for which I say THANKS, because I'm aware that this
  doesn't "Just Happen" but is the result of Hard Work.
