n this happens is it necessary to reboot fairly urgently or is it
ok to delay this till a convenient time. In other words is there a
significant difference between delaying the update because it will ask
for a reboot, and delaying the update itself.

I guess you are using the Classic desktop. It is in Unity that the
problem arises.
have the firefox menu within firefox rather than
in the top bar, which is presumably why the right click still works.
Have you told Unity not to put the app menus in the top bar somehow?
