This.  If firefox is coming from the fedora package, and you just
updated, then there should be no updates to firefox, as it will be
fully up to date.  If there is some kind of churn, it must be something
else.

It is good practice to shut down firefox before updating, and restart
it after the updates are done.  That way, if a library it depends on
has changed, it will get the new version.  Weird things can happen if
you run a program that was started with an older version of a library,
if you run it with a newer version, and it has changed.  Not always
crashes.  Gnome has mandated shutdown after update (reboot) to be sure
that this problem doesn't occur.  I just update from a console with
some programs closed, and haven't had any issues, but they have a valid
point.

Try creating a new user, and running a generic firefox after an
update. That is, without any addons or customization.  Does it still
have the same behavior?
