apt-get dist-upgrade

apt-get upgrade wont install new stuff, just update existing stuff and a new version of firefox is 'new' ... so requires dist-upgrade ... which does cater for installing new/additional stuff.

For educational purposes only, what is the reason to track Jessie if you're running Stretch?
