It is the same difference as between "one" and "first". "One" is "ett" and "first" is "första".

"Ett" or "en" is for counting, ("två", "tre", "fyra", ...) while "första" ("andra", "tredje", "fjärde",...) is when you're making a list of, say, arguments why you want to go to the movies, like: "För det första är det en bra film, och för det andra sa du att du ville gå ut, och för det tredje ..."). "Ett plus två är lika med tre". "Att gå på bio är bra, jag har sett tre filmer: Ett. Utvandrarna. Två. En man som heter Ove. Tre. Mamma Mia."
