That is not true. The latest version of GNU IceCat is 6.02, released at
8th of September. [1] AFAIK just version 5 is packaged for Trisquel.
There is an official GNUzilla Team PPA [2] where deb packaged are
provided. The latest build is for version 6.01. I think you will have to
match the Ubuntu version on which your installed version of Trisquel is
based, when adding the PPA repository.

I personally test the latest versions by compiling and installing them
in /usr/local via GNU stow:

$ sudo aptitude install stow
$ cd ~/src/icecat-6.02
$ ./configure 
$ make
$ sudo mkdir /usr/local/stow/icecat-6.02
$ sudo DESTDIR=/usr/local/stow/icecat-6.02 make install
$ cd /usr/local/stow
$ sudo stow icecat-6.02
$ whereis icecat
icecat: /usr/bin/icecat /usr/lib/icecat /usr/lib64/icecat /usr/local/bin/icecat

The binary for version 6.02 is /usr/local/bin/icecat. The 5th version
binary provided by Trisquel is /usr/bin/icecat.
You will have to run 6.02 with it's full path : /usr/local/bin/icecat.
It will take some time to build it, if you have all dependencies.

To uninstall the installed version  in stow: 

$ cd /usr/local/stow
$ sudo stow -D icecat-6.02
$ whereis icecat
icecat: /usr/bin/icecat /usr/lib/icecat /usr/lib64/icecat

Now you can install a different version that is compiled locally.
Good luck!
