Muskets, rifles and mines seem to be their only technological advantage, but firearms weren't even accurate for shooting at vital area or at the right target during late 17th century. They got almost perfected in early 18th century to mid-18th at accuracy. British military was somewhat weak in late 17th century. However they had much more military intelligence and a huge bunch of general intelligence and military counter-intelligence tactics to destroy the Fire nation in mid-18th century, but it's not a sure if it works right since Fire Nation had a great military intelligence too and organization, plus the Firebending techniques bring too much of massive strangle to the British troops.

My common sense is leading me to the fact that British firearms' shooting are way quicker than any Firebending attack and they can shoot a lot of compressed flints in one row (8 shoots in one row and they had to reload unlike modern guns which shoot one bullet in one row, but now the rows are coming way quicker and no slow reload exists), but again the flames of Firebending can spread on Boston like it's some kind of butter on bread toast. Also fire is way more dangerous for a city with buildings containing wooden materials so close to each other more than any "invinsible" shoot.
