Please do not top-post.
A reboot is also required in the cases of a glibc update unless you take the time to restart all services that are running and logout and then log back in to interactive shell sessions.
I've also noticed that Firefox will not operate correctly after some updates, and a reboot seems to fix this.
Strange. Never needed to do that. Of course, I *exit* from FF *before* doing a yum update when I know a new FF is in the pipeline.
