So once the firmware update is done we should be able to verify the receiving addresses in the Trezor window before sending any BTC to the Trezor.

Thanks!
I didn't know about this.
I cannot find info about this.
It will be nice Wink
It is just above in this post:
Can stick/slush to add checking option to show current receiving address not only in computer but in the Trezor's screen too

Yes, they are working on it. I proposed this to them back in May. Meanwhile you can send small amount first and confirm with the receiver that he has received this small amount before sending the rest of the money. You will pay fee (which is quite small anyway) twice, but you will be safe from browser replacing BTC addresses.
BTW sending a small amount does not fix this problem:

Assume the web site is under the control of the hacker.
You send a small amount to the address shown on the screen.
The amount shows up on the screen as received and even when you look on any block explorer.
This proves nothing.
