the important point in that case is not reboot after upgrading Firefox

of the 100s of DSOs it loads on-demand has changed in an incompatible way.
The upgrade can last one hour (more or less). I'm not going to wait for upgrade and looking at black screen (albeit with
progress bar). When upgrading - I save critical work in progress, and start reading articles from my RSS queue.
And if Firefox crash (which happens very very rarely) I lost nothing, but get
one hour of my life for free.
To be constructive: I can imagine displaying dialog:
Going to upgrade your system. Do you want to do it offline?
* Yes - most safe way
* No - there is non-trivial chance that some running application would
crash (proceed on your own risk)
And let the user decide if he is power user or not.
