This is a relatively cautious procedure. More steps than you're used to but way less than a rescue. As a user with sudo privileges:
df -h / /var # check available space. Stop if space is low.
# This may report the same volume twice depending on whether /var has its own file system.
sudo apt update # get new package lists
sudo apt upgrade -d # check how much space it wants to use, then download updated packages
sudo apt install thunderbird firefox-esr tzdata # upgrade a few big packages to get them out of the way
sudo apt upgrade # install all the remaining new packages
sync # flush all file system caches to disk
sudo reboot # test the upgraded system is bootable and switch to current kernel and systemd
