Yes, I'm sorry.  I was misremembering.  I have this in my sources.list:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
deb http://mozilla.debian.net/ jessie-backports firefox-release

So I must originally have done:
# aptitude install -t jessie-backports firefox

I omitted the -t jessie-backports from my original line.

But I now just do aptitude update, aptitude upgrade, and it gets upgraded 
along with everything else!!
