We hope to support the Firefox updater in TBB soon. After some Tor
Launcher cleanup, this is Pearl Crescent's next task.

The Firefox updater uses Mozilla MAR format, and updates contain only
the binary deltas (patches) between two release versions.

Until then, you're still basically stuck removing your previous TBB and
downloading a new one to replace it, though..
