That's not too hard to do, you'll need to add a postinst snippet like
what's used in firefox itself:

echo "Please restart any running Firefoxes, or you will experience
problems."

unud=/var/lib/update-notifier/user.d

if pgrep firefox-bin >/dev/null 2>&1 && test -d $unud; then
    cp -f /usr/share/firefox/firefox-restart-required.update-notifier \
        "$unud/firefox-restart-required"
fi
