Updating Firefox or anything else while it is running won't bother yum.
It may (and does) bother Firefox, when it tries to open a file that
isn't there anymore, but all files it has open still exist, though
without names, after they have been replaced or deleted. That's how
*nix filesystems work.
I restart Firefox after updating it.
