Well, there're two possiblities:
1. You uploaded your extension to addons.mozilla.org as well. In this
case, Firefox will find updates to your extension once they're
approved and up on AMO with its regular update check.
2. You included an "updateURL" (or similar, I forgot it's exact
wording) tag in your install.rdf pointing to an URL that provides an
RDF File which contains information about the latest release. You
would need to update the RDF file and Firefox would query it wehnever
its default update check occurs and find out about the latest version
and the matching download path.
If you didn't include an updateURL in your first version, I'd suggest
you upload it to AMO. It also saves you from having to worry about all
that RDF stuff.
Although outdated, I think the "update" parts haven't changed:
