I have experienced strange behaviour from Firefox once or twice after doing a yum update. I believe it was not because Firefox was updated but because a bunch of GTK related stuff was updated which Firefox uses, hence why it got confused. I don't remember it's exact odd behaviour in that situation, but I just remember I had to logout/login again to fix it. Perhaps I also restarted GDM while at the login prompt for good measure but a reboot was NOT necessary.
