apt did suggest restarting firefox for the changes to apply BUT it did
not mention that not doing so will render FF unusable nor it did have a
"restart firefox" button -- it is rather easy to close fox window but
not quit firefox - will lead to problems.

Again, my suggestion is to _force_ users to restart programs if updates
affect the total usability of the package.

What exactly caused the bug:

- have a firefox update ready to install (the last one)
- do the update while firefox is running
- firefox3 and ff2 is unusable until you kill and restart ff3 (you may or may 
not be able to normally "File->Quit" due to blocking "ASSERT" message)
