For me when an update happens for firefox (not sure if it is a firefox update or just some libraries it uses, or both) it does not crash (that I notice) but simply stops working (web page refresh and other things don't work anymore).
So in the firefox case something extreme enough is happening that I am surprised that it stays up and only breaks and does not crash. After that I have to make sure to completely exit firefox and restart it to get it to function again. Firefox has done this across multiple kernels and updates on multiple machines. So maybe something similar (update breakage) is happening for chromium also.
