Particularly a good idea for times when the user is working with a
session on his bank account / fulfilling payments / on his retirement
fund account, etc.
For the record, I see that you argue that Firefox will die or perhaps do
something stupid during/after update. Nevertheless, deliberate killing
may or may not be worse but puts the blame on Fedora... Neither
situation is a happy one but I'm not sure if this is better.
