F37 seems to require a reboot after updates of firmware packages in order for firefox to run.

I'm running an actual install of F37.  I have had this experience twice
now. I run the updates in a virtual console using dnf, they
complete successfully, they have a firmware package among the updates.
I then start X to run LXDE, and it starts without complaint.  But when
I try to run either nightly from /usr/local or firefox from /usr/bin in
a terminal, they start and just hang.  There are no messages in the
journal or in the terminal, and when I look at them using ps they are
in interruptable sleep.

In both cases, I killed them, and exited X, restarted X, and tried to
run them again.  No change.  But, when I reboot the computer,
everything starts working again the way I would expect; firefox starts.

Is this a change in F37 that requires a reboot after the install of
firmware packages?  I know that Gnome, and I think KDE, now require a
reboot after every update.  Has it moved to other desktops?  Can I
turn it off, if it has?  Is there a command I can run from the command
line to do the equivalent of a reboot?  Or is it all just coincidence,
and there is another reason?
