Tell me how girl. Mine highest numbered version 
in /var/cache/apt/archives is dated Feb 14 for a 44.0.x.bpo, but the 
installed one I put back in yesterday from the repos is a 37.7.1, whose 
date is indeed yesterday.  It seems to be working, but why is it not the 
newer version?

ls -l output of archives:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 39445644 Mar 18 22:45 
iceweasel_38.7.1esr-1~deb7u1_i386.deb
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 42916910 Feb 14 18:13 
iceweasel_44.0.2-1~bpo70+1_i386.deb

It seems to me I ought to be looking at an about screen that says 
44.0.2-1.

What do I put in /etc/apt/sources.list to gain access to the newer one?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
