Just simply write
    sudo apt-get install firefox
apt will recognize it as a request for update as firefox is already installed. It will also update the dependecies. Just tested it a few minutes ago. Works for every package, which is listed after the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

You just re-install the package, For example: if you have installed chromium-browser, when you type "sudo apt-get install chromium-browser" again, system will check if there is a new one in the repository and update it.
