I can tell you what Ubuntu does in case Firefox is updated. It pops up a
dialog saying "Firefox has just been upgraded, it needs to be restarted".
And there is a button "Perform action now". We can investigate how they
do it and implement it also in Fedora, it would be user-friendly.

By the way, the dialog is pretty generic, I think it also informs the 
user about other apps that has been updated and are currently running.
But I don't remember seeing that notification for something other than
Firefox. But for Firefox, it works.
