the important point in that case is not reboot after upgrading Firefox
but *before* upgrading Firefox, which means that at the time of the
upgrade no Firefox will be running and potentially crashing because one
of the 100s of DSOs it loads on-demand has changed in an incompatible way.

there used to be quite a few ABRT crashes reported against desktop
applications with impossible looking stack traces (although with the
automatic micro-reports it's less of a problem nowadays as they are
easier to ignore), and sometimes the reporter gives feedback that the
application was running across a yum update...
