apt list --upgradable
will print out a list, but the output of 'apt' is not considered  
suitable for parsing by scripts (still unstable).
apt-get --simulate upgrade
will also print the packages to be upgraded, along with a lot of noise  
that your script would have to filter.

It looks as if that worked for you. You created a new package  
'firefox-trigger' with a trigger that looked for upgrades to firefox,  
right? That sounds like the neatest solution, and I will make a note of  
it for my personal reference. Thanks.
