There is a Pale Moon repository for Debian Wheezy. (I copied all this from the 
web page for the Pale Moon repositories, then modified according to my own 
preferences.) Here is the relevant section from my sources.list (with a lot 
of notes & instructions commented out):

You will please note that there is also a repository for Pale Moon that is 
maintained by another person, one Lazlo Kovacs. 

I myself haven't tried the Kovacs repo, nor Wheezy or Stretch; so far I've 
just used the Debian Jessie version. I assume that they all work about as 
well as one another. 

I have commented out the repository for Jessie, since you don't use it, and I 
wouldn't want you downloading something by mistake.
