Maybe that's because my machine is running generally 24/7, and I do quite often leave FF running on 2-3 desktops, with several tabs open at once. Then yum runs each night as a cron job. But even so, if I shut down all instances of FF and start one fresh instance again, IIRC I still seem to need to do a reboot *sometimes* to get things back in sync again.
